Overview

North-South University (NSU), the first private university in Bangladesh, was established by the NSU Foundation with the initiative of a group of philanthropists, industrialists, bureaucrats and academics. The government of Bangladesh approved the establishment of North-South University in 1992. NSU was formally inaugurated on February 10, 1993, by Begum Khaleda Zia, Honourable Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The President of People's Republic of Bangladesh is the Chancellor of NSU.

North-South University's Department of Economics is one of the most prestigious and intellectually-demanding pursuits of knowledge. From its inception, therefore, North South University established the Department of Economics on a sound footing with a set of dynamic academic programs managed by a highly qualified faculty. NSU is committed to build this department as a Centre of Excellence in Economics in South Asia.
