Dhaka School of Economics (DScE), a constituent institution of the University of Dhaka, has planned to introduce Bachelor of Entrepreneurial Economics (BEE) course in 2019 to facilitate entrepreneurship development in Bangladesh.

"We're working on launching the four-year course from next year," DScE Director Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad told a press conference at its office in the city on Monday.

He said the DScE is trying to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to strengthen relationships between the two institutions.

"We've already signed MoUs with Visha Bharati of India and Naresuan University of Thailand," said Dr. Ahmed, who is also the chairman of the state-run PKSF.

Currently, the DScE is offering two courses - Master of Entrepreneurship Economics (MEE) and Post Graduate Diploma in Enterprise Development (PGDED). Besides, the DScE is offering five other courses on environment and development economics.

"We need entrepreneurs for achieving desired sustainable economic growth," Dr. Ahmed said, adding that the DScE has taken initiatives to facilitate development of entrepreneurship across the country.
