To become an internationally acclaimed research university that serves society through excellence in education and research.
LUMS aspires to achieve excellence and national and international leadership through unparalleled teaching and research, holistic undergraduate education, and civic engagement to serve the critical needs of society. It seeks to accomplish this mission as a unified institution with cutting-edge research, a modern and rigorous curriculum, and socially responsible outreach to the nation and region.
A research university dedicated to the advancement and creation of new knowledge. A place for holistic undergraduate experience and strong graduate education. A diverse community with a distinctive commitment to ethics, tolerance, and social responsibility. Engaged with society and a change agent for economic growth and development.
LUMS adheres to merit as the sole criteria in its decision-making. This applies to all aspects of its operations, from a selection of faculty and staff to admission and evaluation of students. We believe that sustained hard work provides the underpinning for the socio-economic development of a nation. LUMS academic programs help develop the stamina and diligence essential for success in the increasingly competitive international environment. Our programs are structured so that every activity enhances student learning and individual development. All activities are thus designed with definite learning objectives. The programs 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 program prepares the participants to perform demanding intellectual tasks. We consider character building to be an integral aspect of our programs, as learning without personal integrity will be of little value to the individual and society.
The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) is a world-class academic institution with a proud history of achievement, and ambitious plans for the future.
With the support of ten of the leading public and private sector corporations of Pakistan, the National Management Foundation (NMF), the sponsoring body of the University, was incorporated on November 7, 1984. The NMF was granted a charter by the Government of Pakistan for establishing the University on March 8, 1985. Through this charter, the University was given the legal right to establish degree-granting programs. In addition to this, the government also granted authorization to set up other schools under the aegis of the "Lahore University of Management Sciences".
LUMS also initiated Ph.D. programs in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Mathematics in line with its aim to promote research in the country. To date, 10 candidates have obtained Ph.D. degrees in these disciplines. In 2006, a Ph.D. in Management was added to the list of doctoral programs at LUMS, to cater to the growing need for organizational management and operations management experts.
In 2011, two majors were introduced to the undergraduate programs at LUMS. The School of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Law added a BA History to their extensive list of majors. The Suleman Dawood School of Business started offering a BSc in Management Science to cater to the increased demand of a business major at the undergraduate level. Living up to its commitment to offering new graduate programs, the university added new MS and Ph.D. programs to the portfolio of the School of Science and Engineering in 2012. A New MS degree in Electrical Engineering was introduced along with new doctoral programs in Biology, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, and Physics.
As the years unfold, the university remains committed to offering new programs in relevant, emerging fields for the youth of the region.
