The like-minded and diverse academic community inspired me most at LUMS.

Did you do a project, placement or study abroad? What did this involve and what did you gain?

For my final year project, my peers and I were tasked with providing marketing consultant services to Kwik Fit, one of the UK’s leading car servicing and repair companies. This project took place over 6 months, and it consisted of rigorous, comprehensive market research with a basis in academic principles and theories that were covered over the three years of my degree scheme. In doing so, we successfully developed a marketing communications strategy that addressed the company’s short-term and long-term needs.

Upon delivering our final presentation to Kwik Fit’s marketing team, we were invited to present our findings to Kwik Fit’s marketing director. This was the most rewarding experience of my academic career at LUMS, as it enabled me to successfully use my marketing knowledge in a real-world context alongside my peers, and the recognition we received upon the project’s conclusion is a testament to the world-class education I received at LUMS.
