Welcome to
SDSB
Welcome to the Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) MBA Programme, the flagship programme of
LUMS. The SDSB MBA is a highly competitive, intense, challenging and demanding experience, bringing out the
best in you.
Our MBA Programme offers broad management education. The curriculum is taught completely through
the Case Method of Teaching by one of the most competent faculty in the region. The rigorous economic
and management research conducted by our faculty ensures that SDSB MBA stays one of the most relevant
degrees in South Asia.
At SDSB MBA we teach leadership not just by example, but by practice. We develop your analytical and
quantitative skills through the Case Method of Teaching. We provide you challenging opportunities to apply
these skills and develop new ones in team-based multidisciplinary projects. During MBA at SDSB you will work
with your peers and faculty in real time, for real stakes, for real companies around the world. You will do it as
part of our core curriculum, and you can choose to do even more through a rich array of electives and focused
learning opportunities. The Competency and Professional Development (CPD) module of our curriculum hones
the soft skills of our students. Adding on to the B-School exposure, the various events organised by special MBA
executive clubs takes the classroom experience to real world setting and provides immense networking and
learning opportunities with the industry and academia.
Our MBA classrooms have student representation from various countries of South Asia. Student exchange
programmes across the globe adds to the international exposure of our graduates. We have a strong alumni
presence throughout the region. More than 50% of our alumni body is placed internationally which speaks of
the achievements of our graduates. Our student body has access to these highly engaged alumni networks,
seeking their advice and guidance. We provide our graduates with tremendous career and professional
development opportunities. Through the MBA Placement Office we assist our students to achieve their career
aspirations.
At SDSB we foster open-mindedness, agility, and teamwork in our graduates. After going through the SDSB
Experience you will possess the resilience required to deal with uncertainty, insight to ask the right questions,
identify the real challenges, and solve the important problems.
I hope that after going through the following pages and paying us a visit, you will be able to assess if the SDSB
MBA is the best fit for you.
