North American Studies (MA)

About

Within the MA programme in North American Studies, students undertake advanced academic work and may choose individual areas of specialisation in literary, cultural, and media studies. The degree programme prepares students for positions in journalism, in public service, or in other cultural institutions. Graduates are specifically qualified for careers in transatlantic contexts. Additionally, students planning to pursue further academic work at PhD level benefit from the strong focus on scholarly methodologies and the writing of extensive research papers. Within the GÃ¶ttingen MA in North American Studies, students have to select a second concentration ("Modulpaket"), for which they have to apply separately. For international students interested in Anglophone Literature and Culture, we recommend combining North American Studies with "Englische Philologie".
