Applications are now open for graduates interested in pursuing an MSc in Strategic Communications at the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science, from September 2022. The course offers students a critical theoretical exploration of strategic communications theory and practice, in the context of the wider field of media and communications scholarship. They will explore how the changing modes of communication, image making and storytelling enacted by organisations promote not only products and ideas/ideals but also places and experiences in an increasingly mediated and networked world. The students will critically engage with the ways that power circulates in, and through, the communications industries, and the consequences for how we see the world and our place within it.
The course benefits from a student scholarship specifically for applicants from sub-Saharan Africa, and applications from the region are encouraged. Interested students can find out more about the course here.
They are welcome to email Prof Lee Edwards, programme director for the MSc, for more information (l.edwards2@lse.ac.uk). They may also be interested in attending one of the LSE’s virtual graduate open days (including a session with the Department). We look forward to receiving your applications.
