Why study at London Interdisciplinary School
The world's most complex problems don't respect subject boundaries. Neither do the people who solve them. The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS) teaches undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals to think across disciplines and lead where conventional expertise runs out. With a world-class faculty and strong industry links, LIS is for those who want to shape the world, not just fit in.
University details
LIS is built on a simple belief: the world's most complex, interconnected problems can't be solved by a single subject. So rather than teach disciplines in isolation, it takes a problems-first approach, drawing on the arts, sciences and humanities and grounding everything in rigorous methods and real-world application. This runs through everything LIS offers, from its undergraduate and master's degrees to its MBA and professional courses. In an interconnected world, those who thrive will be the ones with range, able to take multiple perspectives and spot the next big shift. LIS exists to develop those problem-solvers, ready to work across boundaries and make a real impact.

The London Interdisciplinary School is based in Whitechapel, East London, just off Brick Lane and a short walk from Shoreditch, with the City of London close by and excellent transport links across the city. Its campus building has a rich history; originally the Salvation Army Mission Hall, it has since been transformed into a unique and modern campus with specialist facilities including a media studio and a gallery for exhibiting student work, and a common room designed by students.
One advantage of being a smaller, newer university is that students can be very active in setting up and running their own societies. LIS has an independent student organisation, LISSA (LIS Student Association), made up of members of the student body who oversee, approve and allocate budget to societies initiated by students. There is a diverse range of student-run societies, from film and music to debating, sauna and hiking, and if one doesn't exist yet, students are actively encouraged to set it up.

5.0At LIS, employability isn't bolted on at the end of a degree, it's built into the experience from day one. Across undergraduate, master's, MBA and professional programmes, students work on real briefs set by external organisations, get 1:1 career coaching, and plug into the LIS Network: 200+ organisations, from start-ups to KPMG, John Lewis and the Mayor of London's office. The aim is bigger than a first job. LIS develops the adaptable, interdisciplinary thinkers almost every sector needs, ready for a career that may look different in ten years, even for jobs that don't yet exist. Its graduates go into consulting, tech, finance, government, research and the creative industries and found ventures of their own.
