  1. Got waitlisted by both USC and Columbia , and my disappointment is immense. Seems doubtful I'll be getting off that waitlist, because who would turn down either?
  2. Yep! But much prefer the PhD lifestyle in the US, where you have more time and freedom.
  3. Ah, that is disappointing. Alas! Columbia's basically the last programme I've yet to hear back from, and if the outcome is negative, it looks like I'll be pursuing my PhD in information sciences at the University of Illinois (UIUC)!
  4. Oh gosh, just discovered this thread. Was still waiting on the outcome for Northwestern's MTS and Columbia's Communications programme and noticed that some folks already received acceptances. Does that mean I'm already out of the running for both?
  5. I ended up applying to these programmes: Oxford's Social Science of the Internet, Cambridge's Sociology of Media & Culture, University of Amsterdam's Communication Science, LSE's Politics & Communication, UCL's Digital Technologies & Policy, ETH Zurich's Comparative and International Studies, Central European University's International Public Affairs and KU Leuven's Communication Science. Though not all of them are directly relevant to internet studies, I thought there was a sufficiently significant portion of the curriculum / enough members of the faculty specialising in this area to apply. Happy to report that most of the application results have been positive so far!
  6. Hi folks, as a final-year undergrad political science student, I'm deeply interested in how the internet influences politics, such as the impact of 'fake news' legislations and other media regulations on freedom of expression. I've been trying to find graduate programmes in the field of internet studies or the study of digital political communications through interdisciplinary approaches, in Europe in particular. So far, I've found really interesting programmes in the Oxford Institute of the Internet, UCL and the University of Amsterdam, but was wondering what other faculties are known for / especially good at internet studies? Really don't want to be unable to do further studies in this area because of my inability to get into the top schools for it. Something I'm having issue with is that while there are loads of communication studies / political communication programmes, I'm uncertain on which departments exactly have a developed niche in digital media and online communications.
