Course summary

Problems like climate change, inequality and the ethics of AI can’t be solved by one subject alone. We need an interdisciplinary approach.

At LIS, we teach students how to tackle complex, real-world problems by applying knowledge and skills from various disciplines across the arts and sciences. From coding to videography, machine learning to project management, and data science to public speaking, our curriculum is designed to break down barriers and foster a more integrated approach to problem-solving.

As an LIS student, you’ll be part of the exciting journey of building a new university in Whitechapel, East London. You’ll have the opportunity to play a key role in establishing processes, clubs, societies, events and traditions. For example, ‘LIS Lates’, a career-focused event series, documentary film nights with directors, urban exploration sessions and more!

At LIS, you won’t have to wait until you graduate to make your mark. Throughout your student journey, there will be continuous touchpoints for you to plug into the world of work, through internships, 1:1 careers support and a range of workshops to enhance your employability.

We understand that being a part of a new and radical university can be daunting, but we believe as the world changes and problems evolve, we should evolve too. If your intellectual curiosity doesn’t fit into a box, and you recognise the need for interdisciplinary solutions - join us.

Do something different. Be someone different.
