Pakistan – Academic programme

The IMM-PAKISTAN programme at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) is a prestigious, two-year programme with the following features:

• Recruitment of gifted local and international students.
• A two-year programme that combines coursework and research.
• Rigorous coursework on modern mathematics combined with cutting-edge research.
• High-calibre faculty and visiting professors from leading institutions engaged in team teaching and joint-supervision.
• Opportunities for short-term research visits for students in the leading international research institutes.
• Graduating students will receive a Master’s degree from LUMS, along with IMM certification.
• All IMM students receive a generous, full scholarship that covers all tuition and living expenses.

On average, international professors are present almost every week of the semester.

The IMM’s innovative teaching model involves programme-wide collaboration between international and local faculty. Each course is taught by a team of one local professor and two international professors who each visit for two weeks, i.e., four weeks in total. This approach means international professors are present almost every week of the semester, enabling students to benefit from international expertise as well as ongoing support from local faculty.

The department’s research environment is enriched by weekly seminars held virtually and/or physically, including the John Conway Spirited Seminar Series. The department also hosts regular workshops and thematic research schools.
