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 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. 

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. 

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 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. 

The LUMS MBA programme is structured in a manner that brings out the best in you regardless of your background. It makes you reflect, recalibrate, and redefine your touchstones & goals. Irrespective of what you choose to do after the programme, be it a move in the corporate sector, starting your own venture, or even running your family business, you’ll find yourself ready to take the dive after two years. This is the power and the dynamism of the programme!
