This course is for those who are fascinated by the United States, want to learn more about its literature, history, visual culture and politics, and spend a year living and learning in America. The teaching programme for this course is the same as the American Studies BA. However, you will add to your academic and personal growth by spending a year studying abroad in North America at one of our many partner institutions. This is an unmissable opportunity to experience American life and learning first-hand. You depart after your second year of study here in Leicester and return to complete one final year of your degree. You will be expected to produce a photographic essay of your time abroad.
