Undergraduate courses
We offer
interdisciplinary options in a wide range of fields that
investigate American and Canadian history, literature, film, and culture
from the past to the present.
Postgraduate courses
Our outstanding postgraduate programmes allow for specialization and expertise in
rapidly developing fields crucial in the world today.
A bridge between industry and academia
Our unique
degrees have been designed to provide both academic
excellence and vocational development, a balance highly
sought after by employers and graduates in today's
intellectual and creative industries.
We are committed to excellence in teaching,
and our staff and postgraduate students are at the forefront of
interdisciplinary research into literature, culture, history, film and TV,
politics and international relations. Our multi-disciplinary degree
programme gives students a
broad base of knowledge and skills for their future careers, whilst
progressive specialization is always encouraged.
The
Department has student
exchange programmes with over a dozen US and Canadian
Universities, from the West Coast to the East.
The
Department has also developed collaborative partnerships with
internationally-prominent institutions in Iran (the University of Tehran),
China (Huazhong University for Science and Technology and Shanghai Maritime
University), Ireland (University College Dublin), Holland (the Roosevelt
Centre), Berlin (the Free University, Berlin and University of Bonn), Canada
(Dalhousie University) and Japan (Doshisha University, Kyoto, Sophia
University, Tokyo and the University of Tokyo).
International experience gives graduates an edge for top
global jobs.
“Global businesses are increasingly seeking graduates
who have a global awareness. They value those who have
the initiative to study overseas as part of their
learning. Such study helps them to be more culturally
aware, more able to work in multicultural teams and more
able to move around the world as part of their career.”
