Overview

Through the Social and Cultural Psychology programme from London School of Economics and Political Science you’ll gain the skills and expertise to tackle communication challenges and design interventions in a range of settings. The students employ various techniques in their research, from field studies to in-depth interviews, machine learning and computational approaches to communication. We have close links with the LSE Behavioural Lab – so students can use facilities for eye tracking, virtual and augmented reality, experimental design, focus groups and other research.

Communication is at the heart of many of today’s social issues and challenges – from how we interact on social media to how governments communicate public health messages. To tackle these issues, we need to understand how communication works and why it sometimes fails.

Through theory, intervention testing and practical analysis, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the diverse roles of communication.
