Why did you choose to study at LUMS?

I personally choose to study at LUMS because I value the prestigious and outstanding reputation of the management school. I have learned a lot within the 3 years of intensive study at Lancaster University. I am honoured to have accquired excellent learning within the OWT department in Management and International human resource management disciplines. 

What was the best thing about your course?

I particularly enjoy learning the management side of modules and also I am able to select minor modules which reflect my interests, such as the Chinese language. Personally, being a British-born Chinese, learning the Chinese language has been very difficult for me to grasp. However, after two years of intensive studying, I have managed to achieve a proficiency level of 4-5, which will definitely help me to succeed in future job roles.

What/who inspired you the most at LUMS and why?

I was inspired by my first lecturer in Management studies called Kostas. He was the lecturer who really motivated me to develop my skills in writing and reading at the university level, as this was of great difficulty to myself.
