SBASSE for Everyone

The Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering at LUMS seeks to share knowledge without boundaries. In line with our spirit of ‘city-wide education’, we invite a second cohort for ‘SBASSE-for-everyone’ (ایس-ایس-ای سب کے لیے), which provides specialised courses and makes them available to citizens who are not members of LUMS for enrollment.         

In the second offering of this project, 'SBASSE-for-everyone' admissions are now open for Spring 2027 courses.

As a Visiting Student, you will relish unparalleled access to a broad spectrum of courses, allowing you to meticulously shape your educational journey in alignment with your zeal and ambitions. We also invite applications from learners from across the spectrum. You can be a student, professional, amateur, or retired academic who wishes to learn afresh while engaging with the full rigour these courses have to offer. These courses are part of the School’s regular curriculum and are not toned-down versions amenable to generalists. So if you would like to take on the full challenge, these courses are for you.      

When you apply for registration as a Visiting Student, we will evaluate your background and gauge your suitability for the course you have applied for. In most cases, we will accept your application. Registration is guaranteed if you pay the course fee (see below).
