It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Economics at Presidency University. As one of the youngest academic departments in the university, established in 2023, we are driven by a bold vision: to build a center of excellence in economics education, research, and policy engagement that meets the demands of a rapidly changing world. In a time of global economic uncertainty and transformation, the role of economists has never been more crucial. At Presidency University, we aim to nurture critical thinkers, skilled analysts, and responsible citizens who are prepared to make meaningful contributions both at home and abroad.
Our department offers a rigorous curriculum with opportunities to specialize in key areas such as Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, Mathematical Economics, Development Economics, Environmental Economics, and International Trade. These majors are designed to provide our students with deep analytical skills and the flexibility to pursue careers in academia, public policy, development, finance, and beyond.
We are proud of our growing team of highly qualified and research-active faculty, whose commitment to excellence ensures that students receive both strong academic foundations and real-world relevance in their education. Beyond the classroom, we are cultivating a vibrant academic culture through student-led research initiatives, public lectures, and seminars.
Co-curricular engagement is also at the heart of our vision. Through the Economics Society and its various clubs—including the Debate Club, Cultural Club, Sports and Games Club, Career Club, Research and Publications Club, and Language Club—our students have the opportunity to grow as leaders, communicators, and team players.
Our department is built on collaboration, innovation, and a student-first approach. Whether you are a prospective student, a parent, a policymaker, or an academic peer, I invite you to explore what we have to offer. Together, we can shape a future where sound economic thinking drives progress, inclusivity, and sustainability.
Warm regards,
Dr. Mohammad Samiul Islam
