MSc Global Media and Communications (LSE and USC)

London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London

This unique double degree enables you to study for one year at LSE in London, the UK's media capital, and one year at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, University of Southern California (USC) – a top US communication school with close links to the Los Angeles media industry.

The programme will provide you with a critical exploration of mediation in the global context, examining processes of globalisation in relation to organisation, production, consumption and representation in media and communications. In our increasingly globalised world, international experience gained on one of our global programmes is invaluable and provides an excellent knowledge and experience base to work from.

Teaching methods

LSE is internationally recognised for its teaching and research and therefore employs a rich variety of teaching staff with a range of experience and status.

Many departments now also employ guest teachers and visiting members of staff, LSE teaching fellows and graduate teaching assistants who are usually doctoral research students and in the majority of cases, teach on undergraduate courses only.
