Welcome to the Department of American and Canadian Studies

The Department of American and Canadian Studies has a thriving undergraduate and postgraduate programme, and a teaching and research culture of the highest quality. American and Canadian Studies is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary degree subject focusing on the study of the history, literature, politics, film and culture of the United States (arguably the most powerful and exciting country in the world), but also on the literature, culture and society of Canada. In line with the most recent research in this subject area, our research work and degree courses are also informed – to varying extent – by a transnational and global perspective, the exchange of influence between North American cultures and those of Britain, the rest of Europe and the rest of the Americas.

The Department is a friendly place to study, where, as part of a vibrant academic community, you can expect ready access to staff, and plenty of opportunities to meet other students from both the UK and overseas. We are committed both to our undergraduate and postgraduate community. Both are thriving – and our postgraduate programme is one of the largest and best-supported in the country.
As the country’s leading Departments in its field we are committed to cutting edge research in our various and wide-ranging subject areas. Some idea of the fields in which we work and in which we have published can be gained by clicking on the Research section of this site, and by looking at the interests and publications of individual staff members
