Masters in Interdisciplinary Problems and Methods (Distance & Campus)

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.

Students have the option of either full-time & on campus study or part-time & remote-first. With this flexible option, most of the teaching will be delivered online but students will have the opportunity to meet their peers and faculty on campus, at least once a term.

International Students

An international student is someone who does not have “settled” status in the UK and would need to apply for a visa to study in the UK.

We have a sponsorship license which means we are able to welcome international students. Please get in touch if you have questions about your status in the UK or your application as an international student.

'The most radical new university to open in decades.' - The Times

At LIS, we believe that answers to the world’s most complex problems won’t come from a single subject or specialism – that we need to bring together the arts, sciences and humanities.

That’s why we teach undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals how to solve complex, real-world problems by applying knowledge and skills from a range of disciplines.

But the dots won’t connect themselves. That’s where you come in.

We’re the first institution in over 50 years to be able to award our own degrees from the start, having been awarded top marks in every area of academic standards and qualities by the Office for Students (the higher education regulator in England).

Our mission

Most people are interested in interdisciplinarity for one of two reasons:

Their intellectual curiosity doesn’t fit into a box. It spans multiple disciplines from across the arts, sciences and humanities. They recognise that complex problems require interdisciplinary solutions.

If you fall into either/both of these categories – or refuse to fit into a category to begin with – then welcome to the club.
