Statutory Returns and Registry Business Operations Manager

About LIS

The challenges humanity is facing aren't the stuff of dystopia, science fiction, or textbooks. They're happening today - and they've never been more complex and interconnected.

Yet our higher education system is still structured in silos, leaving graduates ill-equipped to tackle the complexity that surrounds them. The next generation is now demanding to learn in a different way. That's where The London Interdisciplinary School comes in.

LIS is a start-up university that equips learners with an interdisciplinary toolkit to tackle the complex, real-world problems of the 21st century. With a world-class faculty, five exceptional cohorts and close partnerships with global organisations, LIS is building a new type of education for those who want to shape the world, not just fit in.

We are the first new UK education institution for 50 years to be granted full degree-awarding power since inception, and offer Bachelor's, Master's, and soon an MBA programme that take a ground-breaking interdisciplinary approach to education.
