SDSB is pleased to announce the participation of three Accounting and Finance (ACF) students to have qualified for an exchange semester with the FH Joanneum University (FHJ), Austria under the LUMS-FHJ Student Exchange Programme. The programme offers an opportunity to study at the FHJ in Graz, Austria for the Fall Semester, 2017-18 (September 2017 to January 2018) or the Spring Semester, 2017-18 (February 2018 to June 2018).
The selection process was executed through an exhaustive assessment of applications based on a written statement of purpose and one-on-one discussions with students. These students were shortlisted for interviews by an assigned panel that consisted of Prof. Yasser Hashmi (Dean-Student Affairs), Prof. Imtiaz Ul Haq (Faculty-MGSHSS), Prof. Ali Usman Qasmi (Faculty-MGSHSS) and Mazhar Mohsin Chinoy (Director-OSA).
Following are the ACF students thus selected:

These students will apply to avail the Ernst Mach Grant, offered by the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research that enables full funding for exchange students from non-European countries to study in a full-time programme at an Austrian University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule) for five (5) Months. The grant is most generous and provides for all living and travel costs. In the six years since the inception of this exchange programme, around forty students from LUMS have qualified for the prestigious Ernst Mach Grant to study at FHJ. SDSB celebrates the achievement of these bright students and heartily congratulates them on their selection.
