American Studies degrees abroad
Few countries have had such a profound global impact on modern life than the USA. American studies is a diverse and fascinating subject, and the perfect program if you want to learn more about the history, culture, literature, politics, film, and art of the United States.
As an American studies student you’ll study the ideas, events, and figures that have defined the US. American studies programs aim to combine critical thinking with social awareness and you could study subjects as diverse as the American Civil War, Disney, Hollywood, or the battle for civil rights.
By studying American studies abroad, you could get the opportunity to immerse yourself in the very same culture that you’re learning about in the classroom. Alternatively, you could choose to see American studies through the lens of another country, offering a unique perspective of the subject. Either way, studying overseas is a great way to access a first-class education while broadening your personal horizons.
