multidisciplinary modes of teaching

SDSB offers a unique blend of multidisciplinary modes of teaching that fully utilise modern teaching techniques with practical exercises and conventional lecture method. Projects, internships, class exercises, business games and industrial visits are the best examples of the teaching tools employed by instructors to enhance knowledge and provide first-hand experience to its students. Usually, during the first two years, a rigorous programme is followed whereby students are introduced to fundamental concepts of the science of management. During the next two years, as this learning continues, students are also introduced to specific applications of what they have initially learnt, mainly through application oriented pedagogies, industry visits, and in-depth projects and presentations. The integration of various techniques has numerous advantages. It inculcates in students an awareness of practical problems, which may not be explained theoretically. Secondly, it calls for active class participation. Along with improving their communication skills, this aggregate scoring component builds confidence in students to think on their feet and to present their ideas meaningfully. This rigorous approach leads to brain storming and idea generation that in turn, leads to the assimilation of various opinions and insights by different students and assists in group learning. Problem solving and team-building skills, awareness about pragmatic problems and insights into corporate cultures are some of the added advantages of this mode of teaching that lead students to transform into well-groomed graduates with a professional outlook who are ready to face the real world challenges.

anthropology and sociology

Anthropology and Sociology major encompass the comparative study of human beings and the societies they live in. These twin disciplines rely upon qualitative and quantitative research to fulfil this basic aim, and to contribute to our understanding of religions, economies, gender, kinship systems, and political and legal formations as they exist across time and space in order to promote an integrated understanding of human beings living within particular sociocultural contexts. The Anthropology and Sociology major ensures that students get a strong disciplinary foundation with grounding in theory and methods, along with a choice of courses that will allow them to pursue more specialised interests during the programme. This major aims to instil an awareness of the overall unifying concerns of these disciplines, providing students with a solid grounding in the core concepts, theoretical perspectives, and bodies of knowledge used and produced by them, while also building their ability to apply these key concepts, methodologies, and perspectives to real world issues.

The programme is also committed to providing undergraduates the opportunity to undertake their own research through a special project in Anthropology and Sociology. While this is rare in most undergraduate courses, LUMS has been successful in encouraging students to do fieldwork during their stay at the University. As a result, students have the option of undertaking a substantial piece of field based research as part of the Anthropology and Sociology programme. The disciplinary foundation, analytical and critical skills, intellectual versatility, multi-cultural sensitivity and international outlook that students develop will serve them well if they opt for graduate school. These skills are also widely sought after by employers in fields such as the media, the development sector, management consultancy, the Foreign Service, education and health sectors, advertising, public relations and more.

Bsc (Honours) & Ba (Honours)

The four-year BSc (Honours) and BA (Honours) programmes at LUMS lay down strong foundations for a successful future in higher studies and the professional world. In addition to theory, extensive course projects and internships ensure exposure to the real world. Broad-based core courses in Mathematics, Languages, Natural Sciences, and Humanities and Social Sciences in the first year prepare students for more advanced courses, leading to specialisations in any of the following:

economics
Studying Economics allows us to deal with some of the most crucial questions facing us today; questions of growth, prosperity, equity, globalisation, and the role of government. The relevance of this discipline for all societies cannot be over emphasised and it is even more significant for a developing society, striving to achieve equitable and sustainable economic growth.

To this end, the undergraduate Economics programme at LUMS aims to create a pool of bright young economists who will be a valuable asset to the economic think tanks of Pakistan. The BSc Economics programme offers a wide variety of courses, including Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Econometrics, Development, Trade and Finance. Courses are geared towards both mainstream and heterodox theory, and empirical evidence, which ensures that a broad base of perspectives, new ideas, and applications are presented to students. This equips students with analytical and quantitative skills that are widely applicable across many professional disciplines. In addition, training in the requisite research tools and critical thinking prepares students for higher education. Students can supplement their education with a number of other activities which allow them to strengthen their economic and research skills. The Economics faculty undertakes significant research and consulting which is of national and international significance. Students can participate in such projects by opting to become research assistants. There are also opportunities to take up teaching assistant positions.

of future careers and activities. The study of politics acquaints students with the institutions that make crucial decisions; which govern our lives as members of nations, states and other political groupings. Students also learn how to evaluate the choices that political systems must regularly make and about the processes that maintain or change those systems. The Economics and Politics programme is a carefully constructed major that provides students the opportunity to study two disciplines as well as areas that cut across traditional departmental and disciplinary lines. Through courses developed and taught by the Economics and Political Science faculty, students examine the globalised world using a variety of conceptual lenses supplied by the social sciences, learn multiple ways of solving problems, and explore areas of inquiry that intersect traditional disciplines. The courses in Politics help students understand the dynamics of political systems, how they affect international relations and how they support a nation, thus realising their responsibility to the society and the country. The study of economics prepares students to take part in governmental policy making and changes in economic systems. An appreciation of economics and the general workings of the economy have become increasingly necessary to make sense of governmental policy making, the conduct of businesses and the enormous changes in economic systems occur-

ring throughout the world. Economics focuses both on individual units and on the aggregate behaviour of groups, societies and international markets.

political science
The Political Science major aims at developing the thinking, reading, writing and oral expression skills needed for a critical understanding of politics. Students are strongly encouraged to re-evaluate commonly accepted ideas and consider alternative explanations. Our pedagogical approach lays special emphasis on helping the students to develop rigorous oral and written argumentation and to support their own conclusions with carefully deployed evidence. Political Science is traditionally divided into 4 or 5 major sub-fields: Political Theory, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Public Policy (Policy Analysis or Government), and Political Sociology. The curriculum in Political Science offers an opportunity to specialise in each of these subfields. However, at LUMS, there are several areas of research that cut across the purview of the traditional sub-fields. This is why the LUMS Political Science curriculum also offers to the students the possibility to engage with the rest of the Social Science curriculum so that they can meaningfully benefit from a broad-based, inter-disciplinary education.

undergraduate programmes

There are several career options open to students who graduate with a concentration in Political Science. The analytical and critical thinking skills, multicultural sensitivity and international outlook gained from an education in Political Science are all traits that are widely sought after by employers in many fields. Careers that build directly on Political Science include employment in academia (research and teaching), the civil or foreign service sector and international organisations, such as the World Bank, the United Nations, as well as NGOs.

Humanities
The humanities are the stories, the ideas, and the words that help us make sense of our lives and our world. The humanities introduce us to people we have never met, places we have never visited, and ideas that may have never crossed our minds. By showing how others have lived and thought about life, the humanities help us decide what is important in our own lives and what we can do to make them better. By connecting us with other people, they point the way to answers about what is right or wrong, or what is true to our heritage and our history. The humanities help us address the challenges we face together in our families, our communities, and as a nation. The Humanities major offers a thorough and solid foundation in the key subjects of history, literature and philosophy and is traditionally considered the core of all knowledge. The objective is to develop

the faculties of critical enquiry and rational investigation, as well as the capacity to read, analyse and evaluate texts, stances and arguments. The focus is on the education of the mind, to ensure that students are not just technicians, but above all, well-rounded human beings able to thrive in a world that requires precise conceptual tools to understand it. This programme is designed to cultivate critical skills and an in-depth appreciation of historical, literary and philosophical texts, all grounded in current scholarship. The disciplines within the Humanities major reciprocally enrich one another, also providing foundations for strong interdisciplinary competence. A number of our students are pursuing graduate studies in leading universities in United States and United Kingdom. The broad range of media industries has absorbed many of our students, as have the banking sector and multi-nationals.

current data would provide an incomplete map of some of the fundamental dilemmas human beings confront in the modern world. History offers an extensive evidential base for the contemplation and analysis of how societies function. Through studying history we can begin to identify the agents of change and assess whether such changes have been beneficial or harmful. History also helps us to learn why particular elements of a society persist in political institutions, social custom, and religious practices despite changes in other areas of life. The History major at LUMS includes scholars in a range of historical specialties: Art and Architectural History, Islamic Civilisation, the History of South Asia, European Studies, the History of Religions and Ancient Near Eastern Studies. History and Philosophy have sometimes been called dream majors because they provide students with diverse vocational options. History prepares a student for a life of choices and teaches versatility and critical skills in interpretation. The History major is an ideal course of study for anyone considering a career in diplomacy, scholarship and teaching, politics, public service, and work for international organisations. By its very nature, history is cross-cultural and global in its outlook.

History
History provides a distinctive education by providing a sense of the past, an awareness of the development of differing values, systems and societies and the inculcation of critical yet tolerant personal attitudes. It is not a corrective to human behaviour, but an important context from which we can derive lessons and values in understanding ourselves and how human identity has been shaped. Although other fields also provide analysis and context for the contemporary situation (Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology) an exclusive reliance on

The system of law and justice in Pakistan suffers from several widely recognised shortcomings, which hamstring most developing countries. The nexus between the quality of legal education provided in a country and the quality of justice delivered in its courts is universally recognised. High quality and socially motivated education produces elements of change, quality research output, an atmosphere of incisive analysis and intellectual debate, and a culture of tolerance and democracy. All of these ingredients boost the quality of the legal profession and the judicial institutions in a country.

The Social Sciences major at LUMS has provided me with a broad multidisciplinary base in the Social Sciences, and the theoretical and practical lessons learnt both inside and outside the classroom have been a great help in my postgraduate studies and professional life. The skills, commitment and enthusiasm of the Social Sciences faculty have been the hallmark of the Social Sciences programme at LUMS. The programme provided me with the opportunity to engage with theory that is seldom taught in other institutions and programmes in Pakistan. Zainab saeed

The most important thing that LUMS has taught me is to read a text and to challenge it with my own thoughts. It might sound trivial but the ability to reflect on ideas and theories from a critical viewpoint is perhaps the most important skill a good academic institution can engender in its students. Being a Law student, I am glad that LUMS has given me a skill set which will be most valuable in all professional endeavours that I plan to take in future. My experience taught me that LUMS not only imparts quality education but most importantly it broadens the horizon of thinking of every student who comes to LUMS. usman ghani Virk

The teaching methodology encompasses a critical and comparative approach to broaden the perspectives and sharpen the analytical skills of the students. Additionally, the ambit of studies is not just laws as they exist and operate, but also how policy impacts laws and how law and policy interplay. The mode of teaching involves legal text and case analysis and employs the Socratic Method, supplemented by teaching tools such as active class participation, seminars, law moots, role playing, and field studies. This methodology emphasises students participation and discussion in order to develop their critical reasoning and argumentation abilities as well as aiding the enrichment of the class atmosphere. The full-time law faculty at LUMS is involved in high quality legal research to identify leading cases of the superior courts of Pakistan, the study of which not only enables the students to identify what the law is, and how it is being interpreted and applied by Pakistani courts, but also to develop an appreciation of the context and environment in which the law operates. In order to foster comparative analysis, judgments of superior courts of other common law jurisdictions such as Australia, Canada, India, UK, and USA are also included in the course materials.

Career prospeCts
The Law and Policy programme strongly encourages its students to acquire familiarity with and training in various sectors of the legal profession through involvement in vocational experience over the summer breaks. As a programme that is particularly geared towards providing researchoriented and quality clinical legal education, one of its primary aims is to facilitate an interface between students and a myriad of legal and law related vocations so as to create an impetus for bright and young students of today to plough back their knowledge, skills and enthusiasm into their future work environment and the legal profession. Some of our graduates are currently pursuing Masters in law from the highly prestigious universities of Berkley, Cambridge, Columbia, Harvard and Michigan while others are presently employed in a wide array of organisations ranging from private law firms to regulatory bodies, financial institutions, NGOs, and as law clerks with judges. Employers in the legal field rank the LUMS BA-LL.B programme amongst some of the best in the world.

The Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) at LUMS is the first private research school of science and engineering in Pakistan. In higher education, the term research school refers to the model of teaching and scholarship practised by some of the best universities of the world. All students, independent of their choice of major, receive a strong grounding in fundamental sciences, mathematics and humanities in their first three semesters. In their final year, all students work closely with faculty members on a two semester long research project. Classroom teaching at SBASSE is based on inquiry and problem solving rather than on rote memorisation. SBASSE graduates are trained in a way unlike other science and engineering students in Pakistan. SBASSE has consciously modelled itself along the lines of the worlds top research schools and has a highly qualified faculty to ensure that this model works in Pakistan. All students are involved in the quest to answer some of the deepest and most important issues and questions facing humanity, from the structure of matter to the problems of water, energy, environment and health care.

The four-year undergraduate programme offers a choice of degrees in the following areas: Biology Chemistry l Computer Science l Electrical Engineering l Mathematics l Physics
l l

are in the realm of the Biology programme at SBASSE. Two streams are offered to aspiring Biology majors: (1) Molecular & Cellular Biology (2) Computational Biology. Successful completion of the introductory biology sequence prepares students for advanced studies in a range of biological subdisciplines that include Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics and Computational Biology. The Department of Biology offers a very supportive and collegial environment in which scientific ideas are shared and discussed openly. Such an environment is essential not only for educational and research purposes, but also encourages faculty and staff to share their laboratory resources with their colleagues. This atmosphere of openness and receptivity coupled with a genuine enthusiasm and passion for scientific discovery is the hallmark of SBASSE which has a no-boundary vision and encourages cross-disciplinary collaborations between Biology and other disciplines at SBASSE. As a community, the Department of Biology consists of seven full time and three visiting/adjunct faculty members who are actively involved in teaching and research. Additionally, there is also a team of Research Assistants and Postdoctoral Fellows who actively contribute to the teaching of freshman and junior-level laboratory courses but spend the majority of their time working on research projects and developing new ones. Col-

lectively, the mission of our faculty and staff is to ascertain that our students receive the best possible training in theoretical and experimental aspects of biological sciences The success of the Biology programme is validated by the fact that seven students from the first batch of Biology majors who graduated in 2012 won fully funded PhD placements at multiple top-tier universities which include Dartmouth, Harvard, UIUC, UPenn, University of Chicago and Vermont.

Students declare a specialisation at the end of the first year provided they fulfil the prerequisites for that major and maintain a certain necessary GPA. Regardless of the choice of major, students study a common school-wide core curriculum in the first year and parts of the second year. The SBASSE core curriculum is composed of courses in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Eelectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Physics.

Chemistry
Chemistry is well known as a central science because of its unique role in connecting the physical and biological sciences and thus lies at the heart of most technological developments, contributing enormously to the worlds economy. As such, it can be hard to define the boundaries of modern Chemistry as it is no longer simply focused on atoms, ionic compounds and small molecules. Interdisciplinary fields such as Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Environmental Science and, ofcourse, Biology are firmly rooted in Chemistry. It plays a vital role in the development of materials with superior properties. They range from consumer and industrial products such as pesticides for agriculture to novel drugs to fight diseases to nanomaterials possessing unique chemical and physical properties.

Biology
Recent advances have brought Biology to the forefront of contemporary sciences and integrated it with numerous disciplines, including Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This has led to the emergence of new areas of study and research such as Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Mathematical Modelling of Biological Processes and Diseases, Biophysics and Systems Biology, all of which

The Chemistry programme at LUMS emphasises the commercial and industrial applications of chemistry and actively promotes and participates in developing industry academia research projects. We recognise that such programmes, as well as fundamental research at the interface of other disciplines, are essential to solving problems facing developing nations. The Chemistry programme at SBASSE is designed to give students a grasp of the basic principles of Chemistry through a course of study that emphasises fundamental concepts of chemistry, modern synthetic and analytical techniques, and materials science with special reference to nanomaterials and their applications. This theoretical background is further augmented through a carefully designed course of laboratory experiments in chemical procedures and techniques that cover basic concepts and experimental techniques that serve as a stepping stone to research in Chemistry. Students are encouraged to participate in research projects under the supervision of faculty experienced in the synthesis and characterisation of organic and inorganic materials, multifunctional metal oxides with interesting electronic and magnetic properties, size and shape-controlled nanomaterials with controlled surface chemistry, functional polymers, thermally stable flexible and hard coatings, nanocomposites and novel catalysts. These materials have potential applications in a

variety of fields, including Biotechnology, Chemicals/Materials Industry, Fuel/Solar Cells Development, Electronics, Photonics, Drug Delivery, Nanomedicine and Environmental Remediation etc. The impact of our research/teaching collaboration with universities in North America, Europe and China is clearly evident from the quality of our research publications in high impact journals and interesting teaching courses offered jointly with Professors Jeff Moore and Nicholas Llewellyn at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (UIUC), USA. Interdisciplinary research is especially encouraged. We recognise that Chemistry, as a central science must leverage its natural connection with its sister sciences of Biology and Physics, and that in most, if not all cases, complete solutions to problems emerge only when Chemistry works in tandem with them. We expect that this exposure will help students to experience and appreciate chemical issues important to society. In addition, we prepare our students to get admission in graduate programmes of top-notch universities of the world by carefully designing and delivering course content and proper choice of research projects in cutting edge technologies. The overall objective at SBASSE is to produce individuals with a broad and scholarly outlook to problem-solving, whether they work as chemists, biochemists, consultants, academic scientists or entrepreneurs.

Computer science
The undergraduate programme in Computer Science offers an excellent learning opportunity to students with the help of research-active faculty. Students learn how to build computer systems (computer architecture), how to make machines think (artificial intelligence), how to build computers that can see (computer vision), how to design software that works seamlessly from different locations (computer networks and distributed systems), how to model complex problems (modelling and simulation) and how to design more efficient computing algorithms (theory of computation). The degree is excellent preparation for the job market. The Departments highly research-active faculty encourages undergraduate students to be involved in their research work. Research opportunities focus both on fundamental research in theory of computation, computer networks, computer vision, data mining, software engineering, artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as on projects of practical socio-economic significance, such as building systems to communicate relevant information to farmers, designing mapping solutions for rural areas and building record keeping solutions for the judicial system. Due to our thriving PhD programme, undergraduate students can avail opportunities to work on research with graduate students. The Department also offers the option of continuing for a Masters degree, through its 4+1

programme, which allows the completion of both BS and MS degrees in five years. A Computer Science degree is excellent preparation for the job market of the future and CS majors take up careers in every imaginable field. The Department was formed in 1994 and our graduates have enjoyed excellent job placements over the last fifteen years, both within Pakistan and internationally. Many have chosen to establish their own successful companies. The acceptance of our graduates into top MS and PhD programmes abroad has also been excellent. This year, students who have graduated can boast acceptances from Cambridge, Cornell, Oxford, Stony Brook, UC San Diego, UIUC and UT Dallas, amongst others.

munications networks (including wireless and the Internet), powerful computers (with more memory and lower cost), and electric vehicles. Electrical Engineering is a progressive and dynamic branch of engineering that deals with devising large scale and small scale systems that function using electricity and electronic devices. The systems could be at a microscopic scale such as embedded medical implants or at a mega scale such as the national electric grid. Students enrolled in the undergraduate programme in Electrical Engineering learn through a combination of design and lab work. The core and elective courses cover the essential depth and breadth needed for contemporary professional practice and prepare students to contribute to the rapidly changing needs of technology. The four important concentration areas of research include: Communications, Signals and Systems, Electronics and Embedded Systems, Devices, Optics and Electro-Magnetics, and Modern Power & Energy Systems.

ability to think logically, analyse complex situations and conduct research. Mathematics is the rigorous study of structure and relationship. It is fundamental to all of the sciences and engineering, as well as being an intellectually challenging and fulfilling field of science in its own right. It trains students in analytical thinking and courses are offered with application to the natural and social sciences. Mathematics majors from LUMS have gone on to work in industry in various multinationals, as well as pursuing higher studies in Mathematics, Economics and Financial Engineering.

The most unique thing I have seen in the LUMS Chemistry programme is the development of a very close studentteacher relationship, whereby the instructors offer internships to students, who obtain not only a handson experience with latest instrumentation, but also get to participate in research with a faculty member. The Department of Chemistry has strong local industrial links, and also offers courses in collaboration with a top American university (UIUC), introducing its students to the latest learning tools out there. That is why my decision to stay at LUMS has been one that involves close mentoring that I hold very important in many ways.

Students can carry out research in their field of interest under faculty mentorship. SBASSEs faculty is working on some of humanitys most pervasive and compelling issues, from the most exciting contemporary design problems to the deepest mysteries of the universe. Once students have worked with our faculty, and have learnt how

to ask and answer questions on their own, they are free to pursue their own interests: whether they want to employ advanced mathematics to model new water and energy architectures for managing scarce resources; develop a drug to combat a disease that plagues mankind; grow tissue to replace damaged organs in the human body; use smart power electronics to deliver energy; design microelectronic systems on a chip for the next generation of communications or computing; find a high speed method to overcome congestion on the internet; or search for the single theory that unifies all the forces in the universe. Where is such research used? Ideally, in the career, students choose after leaving SBASSE. But even if they choose a career not directly related to their research topic, the process of distilling complicated situations to frame manageable questions, and the act of finding answers to these questions gives students valuable skills that will serve them well for the rest of their lives.

A University Minor performs a couple of important functions. It serves to broaden students horizons and expand the range of options available to them. Students can complement the study of the Major by selecting a Minor in an adjacent or related area, thereby sharpening their understanding and deepen-

ing the knowledge acquired in their principal area of specialisation. A Minor can also serve as a basis for and facilitate interdisciplinary study and inquiry. However, students also have the option of selecting a minor in an area completely unrelated to their Major and can choose to explore particular areas of

interest by selecting a discipline much farther afield. Students are in no way constrained or restricted in their choice of a Minor and are not obliged to justify their selection by demonstrating its relevance to a particular field or area of specialisation.

Education is the most important investment that we make for our children and their future. Good education is the best investment of all. The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) realises that making such an investment in our children can place financial stress on parents. While it is important that parents as well as students fully understand the nature and importance of this investment and are prepared to do their part, LUMS will make every effort that deserving students (based on assessed financial need and within available resources) can be provided appropriate financial assistance to make it possible for them to pursue quality education at LUMS. Indeed, from its very inception, the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) has tried its utmost to make quality education accessible to all students in Pakistan, including those from low- and middleincome households. The University provides generous financial assistance packages to qualifying students in all its degree programmes and since inception has disbursed more than PKR 2 Billion in financial assistance to its students. Currently some 40% of the students at LUMS get some form of financial assistance from LUMS based on the assessed financial need. During the academic year 2012-13, LUMS disbursed more than PKR 320 Million as financial aid to its students. A large number of financial assistance opportunities are available to undergraduate and graduate students at LUMS based on need and merit. Assistance is given in the form of tuition fee waivers, stipends, student loans and on campus jobs. Other sources include the USAID Funded Merit & Need Based Scholarship Programme and various named scholarships. However, the bulk of the financial assistance at the Undergraduate level is given via the following two programmes:

Lums FInanCIaL assIstanCe

Financing of a students education is a commitment involving the student, his or her family and our institution. We at LUMS gear all efforts towards assisting as many students as possible within our limited resources. Financial assistance is offered to students with demonstrated need. These awards at the Undergraduate level are available in the form of tuition fee waivers and do not have to be repaid. They cover partial to full tuition fee expenses of the programme. The range of the amount of financial assistance over the last year has been between 20% and 100%. These awards are reassessed in each academic year based upon performance and demonstrated financial need.

NOTE: It should be noted that all admission decisions are strictly, and without exception, on merit. Financial need, or otherwise, will in no way impact the admission decision. Financial Assistance applications are processed after a student has been accepted into the programme and have no bearing on admission. Financial assistance decisions are based on thorough review of financial situation for which parents and students are responsible to provide all necessary documentation and records, and which also includes physical verification. While LUMS makes every effort to assist its students wherever it can, the University cannot guarantee anyone financial assistance and all awards are reassessed each academic year based on performance, need and prevailing University policies.
