FAQs


The difference is in threefolds. 

  1. Purpose: LSI is intentionally specialist, focusing on entrepreneurship, innovation, and applied AI. It is built on the view that AI is the defining technology of our era, with the potential to reshape virtually every industry and function, from operations and product development to strategy and leadership. The aim is not simply to teach AI as a technical subject, but to equip professionals to drive business transformation through it. Traditional universities tend to be broader in scope, often prioritising academic coverage across disciplines rather than targeting this level of applied, cross-sector change.

  2. Delivery: LSI was designed as an AI-native institution from the outset, with AI embedded across teaching, assessment, and student support. This creates a continuous, personalised, and feedback-driven learning experience. In contrast, many universities are still integrating AI into legacy models, often approaching it cautiously through policies and controls rather than fully rethinking how education is delivered. Consequently, the student-professor relationship at LSI is built on active dialogue, not one-sided lectures.

  3. Agility: Established universities typically operate within complex structures and rely on off-the-shelf IT systems, which can slow down change. LSI's infrastructure enable it to adapt quickly to new developments in AI and education. This allows it not only to teach innovation, but to demonstrate it in practice through how the institution itself evolves.

LSI primarily targets professional, mature students: typically those in mid to late careers with established experience in their fields who are looking to either:

  • Adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape while remaining relevant in an era dominated by AI.

  • Switch careers to become tech-savvy consultants and practitioners

Both groups seek advanced education that is flexible, relevant, and can be integrated into their busy professional lives. They value programmes that offer practical skills and up-to-date knowledge, particularly in innovation management, digital engineering, and AI. They want to apply AI within real businesses, systems, and markets, not in isolation.

Yes, LSI has successfully undergone assessment by the UK Office for Students (OfS) with UKPRN 10091282 and achieved ‘approved’ registration status. This registration demonstrates that LSI meets the regulatory requirements for higher education providers in England. It also grants LSI students access to UK government student loans, including the upcoming LLE loans (Lifelong Learning Entitlement).

Yes. LSI's Degree Awarding Powers were granted in March 2026 and published on the UK’s legislation website. An independent committee of higher education quality experts from other UK universities, appointed by the OfS, conducted extensive scrutiny and assessment with an overwhelmingly positive outcome.

Achieving Degree Awarding Powers positions LSI in a rare group of challenger universities that have their own DAPs from start. This regulatory green light, considering LSI’s unprecedented AI-driven approach, marks a historical moment for the future of higher education.

The London School of Innovation Ltd is a non-profit limited company registered in England with company number 11942630 and official address of 6 Sutton Park Road, Sutton, England, SM1 2GD. The company reinvests its earnings on growth, innovative technologies and offering scholarships.

LSI is founded by Somayeh Aghnia and Paymon Khamooshi, the entrepreneurial team behind Geeks, a software and AI consultancy based in London, and WordUp, an AI-based language learning platform serving millions worldwide.

The Board of Governors holds ultimate authority over strategy, regulations, and institutional performance, while delegating operational management to executive teams and academic oversight to bodies such as the Academic Board. The framework emphasises transparency, accountability, and clear role definition. It aligns with UK higher education governance codes and relies on formal reporting, KPI monitoring, and committee oversight to ensure continuous improvement, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance across all activities.
