It is responsible for coordinating, developing, and expanding the scope of the university’s global footprint and international initiatives.

    "I don’t have enough words to explain the invaluable contribution of semester exchange towards my self-development, both in my personal and professional life. I can safely say that it’s has been one of the most incredible and unforgettable experiences in my life! Over the course of the last five months, I had the privilege to befriend students from more than twenty different nationalities across five different continents and share our culture, food, music, and lifestyle. Moreover, I had the amazing opportunity to interact and study with an incredibly diverse student body which provided me with a unique international perspective and exchange of ideas. This ideal environment not only helped me grow as a person but also took me one step closer to making my dreams a reality and played a pivotal role in making new friends and experiences in life worth cherishing.   These experiences inculcated in me respect for diversity and independence within individuals. Being the Ambassador of Pakistan and LUMS, I left no stone unturned to make sure that I engage in a constructive dialogue to represent the true picture of Pakistan and eliminate all the negative connotations associated with Pakistan in the western world. Being a travel enthusiast, this exchange provided me with the perfect opportunity to explore Europe. Since I had the Schengen visa, entire Europe was open for me. I traveled and explored fourteen European countries and along the way met people from different walks of life. Frankly speaking, I would not trade this opportunity for anything in the world."

    " I can say without a shred of doubt that the 4 months I spent at Koc University as an exchange student was the best time of my life! Living and thriving in the majestic city of Istanbul was nothing short of a dream.

    This program gave me the opportunity to not only engage with world class teaching facilities, but also to make life long connections with professors, mentors and fellow students from every corner of the globe. Turkey is a culturally rich country with a beautiful and diverse landscape and very kind people. And I’m glad that I could get a taste of it through the places I travelled, people I met and experiences I gathered.

    I am extremely thankful to the International offices of both LUMS and Koc for their support and guidance every step of the way, and for making this experience so wholesome for me. To everyone reading this, I would highly recommend making use of these opportunities while you can. Believe me, they’re life changing! "

    "Taking a semester at LUMS is a great idea! You will have a safe and exciting journey to one of South Asia's most vibrant intellectual centres. The distinct and high quality facilities on campus guarantee an exceptional standard of living. Besides top restaurants, generous living spaces and matchless teaching facilities you can find a salubrious aquatic center and a well-equipped gym on campus. LUMS is a very inclusive environment and everybody on campus can feel free to unfold their potential. It was always a great joy to engage in the warm and meaningful encounters with LUMS' educators and scholars. The welcoming and inviting culture of LUMS gets complemented by the academic excellence of its programs. You will find here a world-class education in a variety of topics and unique insights in disciplines centered around the thematic complex of South Asia and Pakistan. For your diversion I can highly recommend to enrapture yourself with the splendor of Lahore's magnificent architecture that testifies to its rich history as one of Asia's major metropolises.

    Maria Farooq

    Maria Farooq (Class of 2012) and adjunct faculty at SAHSOL, was recently promoted to Partner at Axis Law Chambers!

    Maria joined Axis Law in 2016, where she has built a reputation as a seasoned international commercial arbitration lawyer. Some recent highlights of her career include representing a Pakistani state-owned enterprise in an LCIA arbitration arising from a power purchase agreement, as well representing the same enterprise in an ICC arbitration arising out of a construction dispute. Though Maria has pivoted to Axis Law’s disputes practice, she remains well-regarded for her extensive transactional experience, attested to by her recommendation in the Legal 500 Asia Pacific for her “experience in handling M&A” and for her deep “knowledge of telecom laws”. Find out more about her practice here: https://axislaw.pk/team/5e0dca2b2a29040017c3c734
