EAS is an international and interdisciplinary Master's programme. In four semesters, you will acquire the skills to explore interactions between Europe and America with a special focus on performance culture, visual culture, and memory culture. Using critical perspectives of transnational American Studies, you will have the chance to discuss historical developments, cultural productions, literary texts, aspects of language, economic factors, and politics. The curriculum also allows for a practical internship in an area of your interest within your studies. EAS graduates often use their acquired expertise to become active in international organisations, cultural institutions, political institutes, and, of course, in academia.
Areas of focus
After an introduction to fundamentals of transnational American Studies, our students will have the chance to participate in courses from our three main pillars:
“cultural transfer and mobilityâ€
“transnational spaces and cultural encountersâ€
“political relations and responsibilitiesâ€
