About the Double Degree

The European Politics, Conflict and Culture programme, leading to the MA in European History, Politics, and Society from Columbia and the MSc in Culture and Conflict in a Global Europe from LSE introduces students to some of the long-standing debates over the origin and dynamics of modern European politics, economies, societies, and cultures – and analyses how they inform our understanding of conflict in the global context.

Students will study the opportunities and challenges that globalisation brings to Europe as a political and cultural space, and critically examine Europe’s role as a global actor beyond its borders.

Students will acquire and develop rigorous research, policy-analysis, writing and presentation skills, whilst being trained to use methods of investigation from political science, international relations, history, sociology, philosophy, anthropology and media studies.

Students benefit from faculty mentorship and the distinctive theoretical, methodological, and empirical expertise of the affiliated faculty in the UK and the US. Students will have access to a vast offering of courses in social sciences and humanities in the European Institutes at both the LSE and at Columbia University.
