At LUMS, we are surrounded by students and faculty who are passionate about improving the quality of the healthcare system. This passion resonates in the classroom no matter how diverse the audience. 

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. LUMS gives you the opportunity to study a myriad of interdisciplinary 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. 

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. 

It is heartening to see LUMS taking the initiative to offer the MS Accounting & Analytics programme, which is equally suited for both accounting and finance professionals and non-accountants who intend to learn to exploit the power of data using analytics. It will help fill the critical gap in a large number of  organisations where loads of data are collected deploying various technology tools but not optimally utilised to generate insights about the past, current, and future. This programme will also bring academia closer to the industry. 

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. 

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.
