Course summary
The MSc/MA in Media, Culture and Global Cities is a new double degree programme jointly offered by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and New York University (NYU). It allows students to study media and communications in top media capitals of the world - London and New York - while engaging with the academic cultures and resources of two leading institutions (2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject: Communication and Media Studies). The programme is particularly suited to students interested in understanding how media shape urban life and global society, with a thematic emphasis on mediation and digitalisation.A core aim of the programme is to help students develop the ability to make original arguments and support them with empirical evidence. This is achieved through a combination of collaborative and individual learning methods, including seminar discussions, group work, and presentations. Students also gain transferable writing skills through essays and case studies. Essays encourage the development of a personal academic voice using academic language, while case studies invite students to collect original material from the city and produce creative, digital, and narrative outputs.Students receive methodological training through practice-focused workshops that equip them to select and apply appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods in their own research. Small-group seminars foster in-depth disciplinary debate, and one-to-one supervision supports the development of an independent dissertation project within the field of media and communications. These learning strategies are enriched by the dual-institution structure, which offers students access to both LSE and NYU’s academic environments and intellectual communities.
