North American Studies offers solid expertise about the concept of 'America' in a variety of fields: US history, literature, (popular) culture, politics, constitutional law and social science.
The world loves American culture, but is deeply distrustful of American power and politics. In Nijmegen, we offer critical insights into both. Our Master's programme gives students the opportunity to acquire solid expertise in relation to the concept of 'America' in a variety of fields: US history, literature, (popular) culture, as well as political history, foreign policy, constitutional law and social sciences. Nijmegen distinguishes itself from other American Studies programmes through its emphasis on the cultural and political relations between the United States, its neighbours, and Europe.
The Master's programme in North American Studies offers one specialisation: Transatlantic Studies: History, Culture and Politics.
