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. 

The MS TME programme has not only helped me develop a new perspective towards technology management and entrepreneurship, but it has also provided an understanding of the efficient manner in which technology has enabled us. Revolving around the process of learning and relearning, this programme focuses on a student-centred experience with a good balance of theory and practical work while also catering to participants coming in from diverse backgrounds. 

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. 

Just like any other person coming out of their A levels, I was anxious whether LUMS was the right choice for me or not. Now, I look back to a delightful journey that has made me who I am today. LUMS is a place where there’s no lacuna of opportunities. If you have the drive to follow your passion, LUMS will provide the platforms to accelerate your growth across every possible realm; be it academics, professional experience, or extra-curricular activities.

In terms of academics, LUMS gives you the opportunity to study a myriad of inter disciplinary courses and build a holistic perspective. As a Management Science student, I have taken courses in programming and political science, apart from a variety of different courses offered at the business school. The diversity in coursework has enhanced my creativity and polished my technical skills. Through various corporate exposure programs hosted by the business school, I got the chance to network and learn from industry leaders, which helped build my business acumen.

When I joined SDSB LUMS, I didn’t just enter a classroom—I stepped into a world that challenged everything I thought I knew. I met people from finance, engineering, arts, and tech—with perspectives so different from my own creative background. Through case-based discussions, presentations, and intense group work, my communication and public speaking improved faster than I ever imagined.

Campus life was vibrant—late-night jam sessions at Jammin’ Java, deep conversations over chai at khoka, and friendships that became family. I found mentors in alumni and faculty; my LinkedIn network expanded organically. I had imposter syndrome at first—sitting in a room full of high-achievers, I often wondered, “Do I belong here?” But each time I spoke up, pushed a case, presented a project, I felt more confident. These two years remade me.

Today, I’m not just a content creator turned MBA graduate—I’m a business professional equipped with strategic thinking, real-world problem-solving, and a global mindset. If you’re feeling stuck, craving growth, or ready for a bold career pivot—this is the rite of passage. SDSB LUMS didn’t just give me a degree—it transformed me.

LUMS EMBA is one of the best designed programs in Pakistan for working professionals. The classes on every alternate weekend allow for day to day requirements of work, travel, and family life to continue almost uninterrupted. One of the other positives was the balance between academic theory and real world application - the case method was fantastic in grounding us in theoretical knowledge, and assignments typically focused on applying our learning to real world issues in our organisations.
