<h2><strong>About The London Interdisciplinary School</strong></h2>
<div>The challenges facing the world today are not theoretical. They are urgent, messy, and interconnected. And yet, most universities still train students in narrow silos, disconnected from the real world.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>LIS is doing things differently. We are the first university in over 50 years to be granted full degree-awarding powers from inception.

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>All this powered by a talented team of 40+ combining experience from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, the RSA, British Airways, McKinsey, LEGO and more.</div>
