Office of International Affairs
The Centre for Internationalisation was launched in February 2022. Its purpose is to promote international activities on the LUMS campus. As the first of its kind, it achieves this goal by hosting events in close coordination with LUMS’ local and international partners. Moreover, it is a university hub for every student, faculty and staff member to become an active part of LUMS’ international community.
Located inside the LUMS library, the Centre provides the necessary equipment for everyone to participate in international activities, such as conferences, seminars, exchanges, virtual campus tours etc. Laptops, a smartboard and VR sets are available for everyone and easily accessible.
If you have any questions about the Centre, please get in touch with Ms. Hadia Khosa, at hadia.khosa@lums.edu.pk
