Our American Studies course provides a holistic approach to the study of the culture and society of America, drawing on the traditional disciplines of history, literature, geography and politics.
Looking beyond the stereotypes to explore the complexities and contradictions of the United States, our American studies degrees deal with the issues which are important today - issues of gender, race and ethnic relations, economic and political conditions, as well as exploring the impact of popular culture on the development of American society.
American studies is grounded in the traditional disciplines of history, literature, politics and philosophy and offers you the chance for true interdisciplinary study. This means you will learn how to make connections between different subjects, for example, you can study the history of America through its literature, or use film to understand changes in American society.
