What kind of institution is LSICT?
LSICT is a specialist higher education institution focused on intelligent computing and technology disciplines. It operates as a non-profit Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), with resources reinvested into teaching, research and student-related activity.
Which programmes does LSICT focus on?
LSICT is primarily oriented towards postgraduate and doctoral study in areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity and related digital disciplines. Short courses and professional development offers are designed to connect with these advanced pathways.
How do I apply to study at LSICT?
The typical route is: initial enquiry, eligibility check, application form, document upload, interview or academic review, followed by an offer decision and enrolment. The Admissions section of the website sets out each step in more detail, including what documents you should prepare.
What are the entry and English language requirements?
Entry requirements depend on the level and subject of the programme. As a guide, applicants are normally expected to hold a relevant degree or equivalent professional experience. Where English is not your first language, you may need to provide an approved English language test or other evidence of proficiency, as explained in the Admissions guidance.
Does LSICT offer scholarships or fee reductions?
LSICT plans to offer scholarships and bursaries for selected programmes and learner groups, subject to published criteria and application windows. The Fees & Scholarships information will set out available schemes, including any awards linked to academic merit, professional experience or widening participation.
Can I study online, hybrid or part-time?
Many LSICT programmes are designed with flexible delivery in mind, using combinations of on-campus, online and blended teaching. The precise options depend on the programme and partner arrangements. The Study and Admissions pages will describe whether a specific route is available on a full-time, part-time or hybrid basis.
How is teaching and assessment organised?
Teaching typically combines structured sessions (for example, lectures, seminars and labs) with guided independent study. Assessment may include applied projects, coursework, presentations and other forms of evaluation appropriate to the programme. Detailed information is provided in each programme and module outline.
What forms of student support are available?
LSICT offers academic and practical support through programme teams, study skills development and clear signposting to relevant services. The Student Support & Services information explains how you can seek guidance if your circumstances change, and how we work with you to keep study plans on track where possible.
How does LSICT work with partners and awarding bodies?
LSICT collaborates with recognised partners to deliver postgraduate and doctoral routes, operating as a teaching and support institution rather than a standalone degree-awarding body at this stage. Programme information will clearly state the awarding institution and how recognition, quality assurance and external oversight are managed.
Who should I contact if my question is not listed here?
