LUMS has received global recognition as a leading university in the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking for the world’s best small universities 2020. LUMS was ranked 40 with the added distinction of being the only institution in Pakistan to be on the list.

To be eligible for the ranking, universities must appear in THE’s World University Rankings 2020. LUMS was also placed among the top 251-300 Asian universities by THE’s Asia University Rankings in the same year.

These rankings are a testament to faculty expertise, research intensity and the quality of the student learning experience at LUMS. Dr. Arshad Ahmad, Vice Chancellor, LUMS, said, “Considering LUMS is relatively young, it has rapidly become a comprehensive university thanks to the achievements of our faculty, staff, and students. LUMS demonstrates that a small university can make a big difference in Pakistan. It will continue to provide a unique, personalised education emphasising access, merit, integrity, and quality which will continue to sustain its future efforts.”
