1 Lahore University of Management and Sciences

2 Founding Vision “To be a pre-eminent academic institution, serving as a catalyst for economic prosperity and social development” Focus on development of world-class management talent

3 LUMS Overview Private university founded in 1985  Founded by corporate sector (including Siemens) 2200 student body  1700 undergrad & 500 graduate students  35% women 120 faculty members  PhDs from Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Oxford  Over 60 international publications in 2006

4 Undergraduate Programs Broad based education BSc (Honors) - 4 Years Degree Computer Science Computer Engineering Mathematics Economics Social Science Accounting and Finance Law Entry Requirements: 12 years of education, and SAT I & SAT II or LUMS Admission Test Average SAT I score: 1300 / 1600

5 MS/PhD Programs Graduate programs in: Computer Science (MS/PhD) Computer Engineering (MS/PhD) Mathematics (PhD) Business Studies (PhD) Economics (MS) Develop professionals with sound technical and management skills Produce highly qualified teachers Inculcate research culture

6 Quality Focus Best students inducted because of need blind admission policy  Over Rs.40 million disbursed as financial aid in 2005 Excellent Graduate Placement Record  8 Rhodes Scholars in last 12 years  10 Fulbright Scholars in 2005  Over 2500 alumni studying at top universities or employed in the top multinationals, local corporates, NGOs, Multilateral agencies, Government

7 Graduate Placement

8 Selected Employers

9 International Linkages & Collaborations Student Exchange Programs  Copenhagen Business School  FH Joanneum Institute of Management  Asian Institute of Technology  University Utara Malaysia  Indian School of Business  Stockholm School of Business Linkages  McGill University (CIDA)  University of Essex  Harvard  MIT  University of Chicago  University of Sussex

10 Going Forward Refocusing of existing Schools  School of Arts & Sciences  Suleman Dawood School of Business Two new schools and expansion of teaching programs  School of Law and Policy  School of Science and Engineering Doubling of student body to 4000  2400 undergraduate  1600 graduate Tripling of faculty strength to 360

11 Modeled after US Research Universities $30 million already raised First batch of students enrolled by 2008 By 2020 have 1200 undergrads, 800 grad students and 200 faculty Mechanical Engineering Material Science Biological Engineering Chemical Engineering Science & Engineering Plans Physics Chemistry Biology Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering Mathematics Computer Science Computer Engineering Produce graduates who are: Technically competent, creative & hands-on Able to sell their ideas Socially responsible
