Big win for all the students who’ve ever said, “Why pick just one major?” Several top UK universities are now introducing targeted scholarships specifically for interdisciplinary majors, and it's not just a passing trend. It's the future of education catching up with reality.

Let’s talk facts. The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), known for its cutting-edge approach to education, is now offering the MASc Innovation Scholarship, a grant of up to £5,000 for students pursuing bold, blended programs like climate science plus design or psychology plus economics. Meanwhile, University College London (UCL) has expanded funding opportunities for students enrolled in its Arts and Sciences BASc programme, a degree where you can literally mix philosophy, coding, global politics, and beyond.

Oxford’s Reuben College is also stepping up. Their scholarship arm is now prioritising applicants who want to explore complex global issues through interdisciplinary study, such as AI ethics, biosecurity, and sustainable development. These fully funded opportunities are tied to programs that reflect the real-world need for boundary-crossing thinkers.

The change signals a clear truth: schools now praise bold ideas as much as tidy tradition. If you've dreamed of mixing code with narrative or lab work with management, 2025 is your moment. Money is flowing, and the UK is doubling its bets on courses that ready learners for tomorrow's blended jobs.
