The launch of the LUMS MS BPP programme with a duration of 1.5 years provides experienced professionals with an opportunity to take a short break from their careers to polish their skill set and develop and expand their knowledge on policy making and analysis through multiple frameworks and participant-centred learning. With an excellent faculty and a wide range of academic and extra-curricular resources at your disposal during your stay, the LUMS experience is transformational. 

What distinguishes the LUMS undergraduate programme is the variety of electives, which allow one to customise their course plan based on their desired career trajectory. I completed a computer science minor with a major in accounting and finance. This combination enabled me to apply and gain admission to a diverse range of prestigious master's programmes, such as Financial Economics at the University of Oxford, Quantitative Finance at MIT, and Management Analytics at McGill University. Hence, even till the end, I had a great degree of flexibility in what path I wanted to explore further. 

Being an entrepreneur who comes from an engineering background, the EMBA journey at SDSB was an enriching experience that elevated my vision and approach to management. The case method pedagogy of the programme provided a unique opportunity to analyse diverse business problems from multiple facets and appreciate different approaches toward problem solving. It also encouraged me to do a lot of reflection about my past practices as a business manager and critically evaluate my decision-making and management style. 

Pursuing my undergraduate degree in Management Science was the best decision I made! The programme equips you with the necessary tools to develop strong business acumen. You can then build upon these foundations with a variety of courses like Econometrics, Data Science and Supply Chain Management to help you specialise in the area of your passion. This holistic approach allowed me to truly explore what I loved and become exceptional at it  - with the help of the amazing faculty at SDSB!

As the knowledge economy rises at a global level, the essential role of technology innovation and entrepreneurship in the economic development of countries is becoming highly recognised. In the MS TME Programme, we actively seek a broad range of industry engagements, including but not limited to joint collaborative ventures, exchange of ideas for commercialisation, entrepreneurial motivation and hands-on training for the right skill sets. I am confident that curating this degree with SDSB will open many avenues for more interesting partnerships. 

The EMBA at SDSB LUMS sharpened my strategic thinking and expanded my vision beyond finance, empowering me to drive organisational growth.
