Overview of partnership

Goldsmiths and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have established a credit recognition and dual degree partnership connecting SJTU’s master’s programmes with Goldsmiths’ MA/MSc Virtual and Augmented Reality. This collaboration allows students enrolled on one of three SJTU master’s programmes — the Master of Journalism and Communication in Cultural & Creative Industry Management, the Master of Fine Arts in Art Management, or the Master of Digital Cultural Creation and Management — to complete their second year at Goldsmiths. 

Through this arrangement, students gain the opportunity to combine SJTU’s academic strengths in creative and cultural management with Goldsmiths’ expertise in immersive technologies and digital innovation. Upon successful completion of both programmes, graduates receive dual degrees from SJTU and Goldsmiths, strengthening their global employability and professional recognition.
