The programme focuses on the USA, although some modules are comparative, encouraging the study of America from different perspectives. Part 1 modules introduce ideas of America through literature and film, as well as the study of history and politics. Part 2 features a diversity of modules, ranging across disciplines in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The spectrum spans 19th and 20th Century history and politics, literature, mass media and American perspectives in music, performance and architecture.
