    About

    In the Master's degree programme "North American Studies: Culture and Literature" at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, students study the cultures and literatures of the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean in an inter-American context and from a transatlantic perspective. The programme consists of survey and focus courses in cultural and literary studies including classes on popular culture, cultural and literary history, and general literary and cultural theory. The MA "North American Studies: Culture and Literature" is a research-oriented programme in which cultural phenomena and literary texts, past and present, in the US, Canada, and the anglophone Caribbean are analysed, encompasses the fields of cultural studies and literary studies, offers cultural and literary study courses on a broad range of topics from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, includes a language module to foster academic language skills in speaking and writing, provides the formal requirements for a doctoral degree programme in American or English Studies, and concludes with an MA thesis, written during the final semester (within six months), which focuses on an individualised research project in cultural or literary studies.
