Why did you choose to study at LUMS?

I feel really proud that I was selected to study at LUMS with a scholarship. The reputation of the Management School, along with the career advice and support from the tutors were the main reasons I chose LUMS.

What was the best thing about your course?

The fact that I had the opportunity to study real case studies and collaborate with third parties for my dissertation. Also, the workshops with IBM and other companies gave me a different view of the tech market.

What/who inspired you most at LUMS and why?

My Strategic Management Professor - David Brown. At the end of the course, I developed a  different perspective on how to solve complex problems due to the nature of the course. It certainly increased my critical thinking and reflective practice.
