The MA in American Studies (Literature) is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary course, which enables you to focus on the study of the history of the United States, as well as wider approaches to research and American Studies.
The course shares a common first semester programme with the MA in American Studies but you are able to develop your disciplinary focus during the second semester by studying modules specific to American literature.
In line with the most recent research in this subject area, our research work and postgraduate courses are informed - to varying extent - by a transnational and global perspective, the exchange of influence between North American cultures and those of Britain, the rest of Europe and the rest of the Americas.
The MA in American Studies (Literature) will give you the opportunity to study a subject that you are passionate about at a more detailed level than is possible during an undergraduate degree. As such, this is an ideal step into a future research qualification, such as a PhD.
As you have this option of developing your interests at a more specialised level, you will even be able to tap into current debates surrounding America´s global position. As such, this course offers excellent preparation for a career in journalism and the media; government service; diplomacy; NGO and lobbying work
The interdisciplinary focus of the course will also equip you with the skills and flexibility to adapt to a range of other professions, such as management, business, public services and law
You will also be ideally placed to pursue a career or further study in North America or Canada.
