  • I choose management sciences because it exposes one to a variety of disciplines and functional fields (marketing, supply chain, operations, organization behaviour), any of which one can choose to specialise in later in the degree with the flexibility of degree electives. Furthermore, its inclination towards equipping students with data related tools and theory is a useful skill to have.

  • My four-year journey at LUMS taught me the importance of persistence and self-belief in making the impossible possible, a motto that continues to be an integral part of my life. I was fortunate enough to study from some highly experienced and competent teachers who continue to inspire me to date. Despite majoring in Accounting and Finance, I got the chance to take courses from other disciplines such as languages, law, and computer science, an opportunity one rarely gets elsewhere.
