Why this Program? Our global society is facing complex challenges in diverse areas such as energy, life sciences, nutrition, materials and the transition to a more sustainable economy. Many of these challenges are interdisciplinary, requiring a new generation of scientists who are capable of looking across traditional boundaries between scientific disciplines. At TISP, we introduce a new approach to education in the natural sciences that is based on the Liberal Arts & Sciences tradition. Gone are the conventional disciplinary boundaries. We challenge you to create your own curriculum, chosen from a wide range of disciplines, guided by advisors and driven by your own skills, interests and ambitions.

Modern educational approaches The program is based on problem-based learning (PBL) approach, which is more effective than traditional university education. You will actively acquire knowledge and skills needed for your career prospects, your future. With PBL, you are solving complex, interdisciplinary and real-life academic problems. Through literature study and group discussions, you investigate and work with content that is necessary for solving a given problem, developing such skills as presenting, debating, writing and working together. In small groups of 12 students, you will be guided in the learning process by a tutor, who will act as both subject matter expert and facilitator. The small class size creates a comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities for effective interaction between students and tutors. By developing your own scientific project, you become rapidly acquainted with the scientific literature relevant to the topic, and you acquire the practical skills you need. |

International academic community We are creating a lively academic community with students and staff from all over the world. The diversity of cultural backgrounds and perspectives enlivens the small-group discussions and enriches your academic experience. Through Problem-Based Learning and Research-Based Learning, you actively contribute to your own learning process as well as that of your peers. Close interactions with scientific researchers and industry professionals further contribute to your learning experience and prepare you for the challenges you will face in your future career. |
