Linking the study of US diplomacy and policy-making to a broader appreciation of US society and culture, our US Foreign Policy degree is designed both for students preparing for a PhD and those seeking a career in diplomacy, business or other fields.
The programme consists of a required module in 20th Century US Foreign Policy and optional modules in areas such as US foreign and defence policy, culture and foreign policy, and the conception of the US "nation". These are complemented by a required module in Theories and Methodologies in American Studies. Students also attend the American and Canadian Studies Research seminar involving postgraduates, staff, and guest speakers from Britain and North America.
Through this combination, you will be encouraged to evaluate the development of US foreign policy not only in diplomatic and strategic contexts but also as part of broader issues in US economics, politics, and ‘culture’. You will complete the programme with a 20,000-word dissertation on a topic of your choice.
