All students spend their third year at a university in the United States.
In addition to the American Studies programmes the University also offers three 3-year degrees specialising in American Literature. American Studies students take four of these modules during the second and fourth years. In addition they do an extended essay on an Art or Film topic. A limited number of places are available on this programme in the first instance. This package provides an opportunity for those with a marked literary bias to study American literature within the context of a multidisciplinary degree.
