By combining American Studies and Film Studies, you link together a wide range of interesting topics – from the birth of celebrity culture to Hollywood as an industry.
And you learn from leading experts about challenging works ranging from DW Griffiths’s Birth of a Nation to Andy Warhol’s Blow Job. You’ll have access to dedicated media laboratories, film and sound studios, and an in-house DVD library of over 5,000 films and TV programmes.
Plus, by spending a year abroad, you not only study America, but you experience it too. We’re proud to have more prestigious American partner institutions – including UC Berkeley and Georgetown – than any other programme in England.
