Mr. Kaleem Ahmed Ghias 

On behalf of the Faculty of Management Sciences, I convey my gratitude for showing your interest in our programs. Our primary goal is to promote peace, progress and prosperity, which can be achieved through acquisition of requisite knowledge and skills.

Hamdard Institute of Management Sciences (HIMS) follows the philosophy of Shaheed Hakim Mohammad Said, which has always been the vision to influence and inspire students to play an important role in business especially with the issues faced by society. The many challenges across Pakistan in terms of social correspondence and public welfare require a mix of strong think tank managerial and leadership potentials to guide a roadmap for future through quality style management strategies. HIMS has always focused on developing the curriculum that highlights these multifaceted aspects of the society linking them to the business perspectives and practices. The department is meticulously focusing on research to keep abreast with the modern changes taking place around the world. This is important for the students, giving them an edge to establish asynthesized relationship in order to channelize, coordinate and correspond with the various challenges.

HIMS has developed different programs at the undergraduate, graduate and research levels keeping in view to the challenges of the new era. HIMS has been a leading business school in terms of management thinking, theory, practice and distinct useable research. Our commitment to occupy the position can be taken from this fact that we always encourage our scholars to develop a foundation in the area of their interest. The program requires long hours of consistent hard and smart work and a strong will power to put an extra effort in order to harness the techniques not in both in quantitative and qualitative aspect of research methods, needed for quality of meaningful research output as well as sensitized analysis research of the world. This is where HIMS accommodates its students to every possible extent to ensure a successful transition in developing a cadre of strong professional minds, with sense of social responsiveness.

HIMS over the years has harnessed skills in its students enabling them to become a socially responsible human resource, with requisite knowledge and professional acumen to deal with modern business challenges. The Institute has a qualified and competent faculty which is committed to use its teaching, case methods and research strengths in order to improve the concepts, understanding and professional skills among students besides interaction with industry and professional experts. For all postgraduates we have a team of research active staff, who are quite proficient in their disciplines.

To assist you in this decision, I am fairly confident that this prospectus will provide useful insights to our programs, scholarships, financial assistance, campus facilities and research, as well as other information that may answer the questions you have regarding our business school, HIMS. Our team warmly invites you to HIMS and with fair amount of confidence that your time here will be a learning and rewarding experience.
