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. 

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.

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. 

If you are looking for a high gradient learning curve, then LUMS is the place. LUMS' competitive environment creates thinking minds of the future who are always up for challenges. Here at LUMS, you will build network of friends from all over Pakistan, have freedom to take courses outside your major, and have countless opportunities to take initiatives and leadership roles.

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!
