Introduction
Interdisciplinary Problems and Methods (BASc)
A new approach to learning

The world isn’t divided into silos, so why do we learn in them? LIS teaches a new thought modality that’s built for the real world: Interdisciplinary thinking.

In your degree, you’ll explore a diverse range of topics - such as ‘the future of cities’, ‘climate change’ and ‘inequality’. One day you’ll be taught complexity theory by a physicist, the next graphic design by an artist. 

You'll bring these specialisms together to unlock new opportunities and insights. Learning an exciting and innovative approach to real world problems, that will set you apart in the workplace of tomorrow.

What do our students think?
Blaise

Current Student

"After starting a 'monodisciplinary' degree, I was dissatisfied with the extremely limited scope of knowledge that was being taught. I stumbled upon LIS and discovered the degree that would give me the space to explore several academic interests, all while developing an invaluable professional skillset. No brainer."

Jet

Current Student

"You know when someone asks if you could have one super power, what would it be? LIS really feels like that superpower."

Dhiresh

Current Student

"I left secondary education deeply frustrated. I felt I had been forced to narrow it down and couldn't understand why. It seemed so clear that the things I cared about - sustainability, health promotion, community building, and the revolution heralded by AI, couldn't be understood (let alone tackled!) by one discipline alone.. Finding a university where I didn't have to sacrifice any of my interests, that had a strong focus on professional skills, and that would allow me to grapple with real-world problems was absolutely a no-brainer. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else."

Sarah

Current Student

"LIS is exactly the institution I hoped it would be plus more. The collected faculty has such diverse and overlapping sets of interests that I feel as though every field and method is only a message away. Without the dusty tradition and institutional sluggishness of my previous universities, the staff have been able to listen fully to students and their partners to build the university around the problems it solves. It's a really exciting place to be, and I'm thrilled to see how it continues to develop.”

Jethro

Current student

"During my time at LIS, I have grown to recognize the vital nature of interdisciplinary collaboration in unravelling complex problems. By forging connections between seemingly unrelated fields, we facilitate a more intricate and all-encompassing understanding of the world we inhabit and inspire the birth of positive change.”
