Student life
We know there’s more to life than studying and that a lot of what you’ll get out of your time at LIS will happen outside the classroom.
As an LIS student, you’ll be part of the fast-paced, intensive, and fun journey of building a new university. That means you’ll have a unique opportunity to play a key role in co-creating events and establishing clubs, societies, and traditions that future students will enjoy for years to come.
Some of our student-led clubs & societies are sports-based (football, climbing, boxing) and others are interest-based (music, podcasting, exploring cultures, LGBT+, art).
If you want to launch your own club or society, go for it. We’ll provide you with the support to make it happen.
We organise a range of activities to complement your learning. Our students can expect guest talks, industry visits, competitions, film nights, professional events, and much more.
Campus and facilities
Our campus is based in Whitechapel (just off Brick Lane) in east London.
The building itself has a long history of philanthropy, community, and social action. It was the location for the original Salvation Army Mission Hall which supplied food to the local area and later became the Salvation HQ.
The building has since been expertly transformed into a flexible working space, which LIS shares with other purpose-driven organisations.
