Los Angeles is most famous today for its association with the American Hollywood film industry, which has been established in the city since the early decades of the 20th century.
Whilst studying a Masters in Los Angeles you’ll have the enviable experience of living in one of the world’s most famous cities (alongside some rather well-known neighbours).
