LUMS Philosophy

  • Merit Based Approach

 LUMS adheres to merit as the sole criteria in it's decision making. This applies to all aspects of its operations, from selection of faculty and staff, to admission and evaluation of students.

  • Hard Work

We believe that sustained hard work provides the underpinning for the socio-economic development of a nation. LUMS academic programmes help develop the stamina and diligence essential for success in the increasingly competitive international environment.

  • Value Addition

Our programmes are structured so that every activity enhances student learning and individual development. All activities are thus designed with definite learning objectives.

  • Intellectual Rigour

The programmes offered at LUMS not only require the capacity to work hard, but also the ability to think analytically and to solve problems. The mental strength that comes from a rigorous academic programme prepares the participants to perform demanding intellectual tasks.

  • Character Building

We consider character building to be an integral aspect of our programmes, as learning without personal integrity will be of little value to the individual and the society.
