Study in an interdisciplinary way will allow you to engage in refreshingly different teaching and learning styles.

There are, of course, numerous ways in which interdisciplinarity is practised in education, even in the specific context of the University of Warwick.

But in IATL, you will have a unique opportunity to practise what we call ‘radical interdisciplinarity’ – a form of interdisciplinarity that questions the dominant structures of knowledge and education with a view to transforming it.

You will be offered the exciting possibility to study on modules that explore the complexities of Mind, Body, and Culture, as well of their interrelations; to think about using your creative thinking to applying innovation to contemporary challenges; to imagine a different world, considering the ideas and resources we need in creating change.

More specifically, by learning in IATL’s interdisciplinary modules, you will be exposed to different, at times radically different, ways of thinking and doing.

You and your peers from different disciplinary backgrounds will be at the centre of the teaching and learning environment. You will play a vital role as an active learner and a co-creator of knowledge, substantially contributing to synthesising disciplinary perspectives in collaboration with your peers as well as with experts in different disciplines and experienced interdisciplinary teachers.

You will reflect on lived experiences, your own and those of others, in teaching and learning as well as in addressing theoretical problems or questions.

You can make a difference by bringing your disciplinary background and your lived experience to the interdisciplinary learning environment.

You will have the unique opportunity to curiously explore different disciplinary approaches to think holistically about crucial questions as well as about possible practical solutions to the issues they raise.
