An understanding of modern politics cannot be complete without considering the influence of America.
With our American Studies and Politics BA, you explore the literature, history and culture of a global powerhouse. And you learn from leading political experts who influence debate on topics ranging from corruption to international governance.
You’ll join a politically engaged community in one of the UK’s most politically diverse cities. Plus, with your year abroad, you gain first-hand experience of American culture and politics. We’re proud to have more prestigious American partner institutions – including UC Berkeley and Georgetown – than any other programme in England.
