UndergraduateCourse summary
The course offers the flexibility to explore. Whether you've come to the subject through an interest in global relations, politics, or even a love for American television shows, our expert-led courses let you design your degree to suit your strengths and interests. You will explore American and Canadian history, literature and culture, selecting optional modules on everything from North American politics, music, art, film and television. The range of areas on offer means you will develop important skills to enhance your career options, from critical thinking and analysis, to creativity and communication. You can also experience North America, by choosing to study abroad for a year at a US or Canadian university. You can do this by transferring to the study abroad programme at the end of your first year. The option to study abroad is dependent on your academic performance and the availability of places.
Modules
Through core modules, in year one you are introduced to the key themes and events of American history and culture, significant authors and texts of American literature, as well as Canadian literature, film and culture. There are two core modules in year two. In addition, you choose from a range of specialised modules covering periods, events, authors or texts in more detail. In year three (or year four, if you spend your third year abroad), you will continue to specialise in the fields that most interest you. You will write a dissertation on a subject of your choice, and select a range of advanced-level modules in North American history, literature, culture and film.
