Complex problems require an interdisciplinary approach. Their solutions will not come from a single subject or specialism. At LIS, this interdisciplinary problem-solving is exactly what we do. And our master's students become experts at it.

This master's is for those who see connections, not boundaries. If you thrive on connecting ideas between the arts, sciences, and humanities, this is your degree.

At the heart of our Interdisciplinary Master's degree you'll find three things: interdisciplinary methods, complex problems, and the opportunity to work on the things that matter to you.

Interdisciplinary Methods

Build a practical toolkit of interdisciplinary skills, including qualitative and quantitative methods. You'll study modules covering approaches to linguistic, numeric, visual, experimental, and algorithmic data. A core module on Integration will teach you how to combine these methods to produce new insights that are greater than the sum of their parts.

Complex real-world problems

Tackle complex problems by choosing one of three core modules to explore in depth: Cognition & Behaviour, Technology & Computation, or Systems & Processes.

Making it relevant to you

Define and investigate a problem of personal or professional interest in your Capstone project. Guided by our world-class faculty and supported by partners from the LIS network, this is your chance to explore the problem that matters most to you and produce a piece of original work that reflects your unique interests and skills.

Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
