Community Service

The scope of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) CSR activities at DHA Suffa University includes community involvement and philanthropy for the development of communities, initiatives involving health and safety, efforts towards environmental protection and sustainability as well as a variety of further initiatives aimed at facilitating students that belong to disadvantaged segments of society. The CSR Department strives to engage DHA Suffa University students in volunteering activities via the Community Service and Sustainability Program (CSSP) and aims to make DHA Suffa University a university that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on character building. The CSSP is an action program that plays an important role in invoking a sense of civic responsibility in an individual.
To ensure that DHA Suffa University’s vision of nation-building is materialized, the University has made community service a mandatory requirement for undergraduate students in the Management Sciences Department. Students enrolled in the BBA program are required to complete 60 hours of community service in order to graduate. This requirement will enable the students in the Management Sciences Department to become well rounded, compassionate and empathetic individuals who are able to gain a competitive edge in the job market by having a unique selling point. Furthermore, the CSR department aims to create awareness related to various aspects of CSR by arranging a variety of free sessions for DHA Suffa University faculty, staff and students and also working on the development of policies and procedures to facilitate CSR activities at DHA Suffa University.

Each student can find an area of his or her interest from a number of clubs like Marketing Club, HR Club, Finance Club, Supply Chain Club and Economics Club, all which exist under the patronage of the Management Sciences Society. The society is a well-organized body run by the students which represent and promotes the Management Sciences. It aims to provide practical knowledge related to theory courses through competition and events that not only give the students an insight of the latest innovations in the above areas but also foster a sense of achievement and confidence. This kind of events greatly help the students in their professional development. Since the Department of Management Sciences is keen to develop its linkages with the industry, therefore, the MS Society also promotes the integration of industry through its events where prominent industry figures come as judges, guest speakers or trainers to contribute their rich experiences.

Capstone Projects

Students from the Undergraduate and Postgraduate degree programs are offered capstone projects in their final semester. These projects allow students to work on real-world business issues. Under this program, students are required to work as a consultant to a client company under the guidance of a faculty supervisor and a corporate mentor. The students conduct rigorous field research, secondary research, data collection and analysis, after which the findings, conclusion and recommendations are presented to the sponsoring company. The entire project is of 6 credit hours and students are expected to complete it in one semester. These capstone projects provide a ‘real world’ experience to Management Sciences students and provide them with an opportunity to bring creative solutions to the problem at hand.

The aim of CCD is to encourage case study pedagogy and develop real cases to bring actual business issues and problems to the classrooms.
