Fully Funded: LSE & UCT 2022-2023 Double Degree Masters Scholarships for African Students

The Double degree Masters in Global Media and Communications is a unique programme and offers the opportunity to study and gather experience in two cities (London and Los Angeles, Shanghai or Cape Town) with close connections and ties to global media industries.

Successful students will attend 2 top ranking educational institutions, the London School of Economics (LSE) in London in your first year, and the  University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, Fudan University in Shanghai or the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa.
