About LUMS
The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) is a national university, established by sponsors belonging to the country’s leading private and public sector corporations.

The University has built a credible reputation and has expanded rapidly since its establishment. It has three schools: Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB), School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) and School of Science and Engineering (SSE).

Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB)

The Business School was the first school established at the Lahore University of Management Sciences in 1986. It offers a two-year MBA, and a two-year Executive MBA, in addition to a PhD in Management. It also provides executive development education through its Executive Administrator Development Center (EDC). At the Bachelors level, the SDSB offers a BSc (Hons) in Accounting & Finance - a four-year program.

School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS)

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences was formed on July 1, 2006. It comprises three departments: Economics, Law and Policy, and Social Sciences. These departments were previously part of the School of Arts and Sciences which has now given way to two new schools: the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS), and the School of Science and Engineering (SSE).

SHSS offers a four-year BSc (Honors) degree, a five-year degree in Law and Policy (BA-LLB) and a one-year MSc degree in Economics. Majors in Economics and Social Sciences are offered by the SHSS. From the academic year 2006 – 2007 two new majors have been introduced, one in Economics and Mathematics by the Economics department and the Mathematics department jointly, and the other in Politics and Economics by the Social Sciences department and the Economics department jointly.

School of Science and Engineering (SSE)

The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) will start in Fall 2008 with new undergraduate programs in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Engineering/Operations Research following within four years by graduate programs in each discipline. In September 2008 SSE will also inherit the existing mathematics and computer science/engineering undergraduate and graduate programs at LUMS.

Admission Test
Admission to the SDSB, SHSS and SSE is on the basis of the LCAT. The LCAT is a three-hour test based on SAT I, and consists primarily of multiple-choice questions, that measure verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities. The test has two components: LCAT-I and LCAT-II.

The LCAT-I is a one-hour multiple-choice test that measures basic verbal and mathematical abilities. All students applying to LUMS (SSE/SDSB/SHSS) are required to take the LCAT-I.

The LCAT-II is a two-hour test probing verbal and mathematical abilities further. Students applying to the SDSB/SHSS are required to take both the LCAT-I and LCAT-II while students exclusively applying to the SSE are required to take the LCAT-I only (in addition to the SSE admission test).

All applicants residing in Pakistan are required to take the LCAT. Exemptions are available for the following students:

• Foreign nationals
