Every year LUMS holds a Placement Fair at which employers and placement students come to campus to recruit for the next placement cycle. In this video they describe the value of placements.

The annual LUMS Undergraduate Placement Fair took place on 18 January with over 25 employers attending – ranging from large blue-chip companies to smaller regional firms.

The fair is a recruitment event aimed at second year students who will be spending their third year on an employer-based placement.

The company stands at the fair were staffed by current LUMS placement students – there both to represent their employer and to describe to the second year students just what they do on a typical placement.

Completing a one-year placement gives students a tremendous advantage when job-hunting in their final year.

The one-year placement is a compulsory part of several LUMS degree schemes, including the BBA, BSc in Marketing Management and BSc in Management and Entrepreneurship.
