Transatlantic Studies: History, Culture and Politics
Master
Transatlantic Studies examines the complex connections between the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean. You will learn to analyse the past and present of multilayered exchanges between North America and Europe, with regard to, for example, culture and politics.
In close collaboration with fellow students and staff, you will reflect on complex international interactions through themes such as global citizenship, democracy, cultural exchange and mobility, international affairs, freedom, equality, and diversity, all from a transatlantic perspective. The interdisciplinary approach will allow you to use and synthesise knowledge from a wide range of sources, such as digital collections, social media, policy documents, visual media, literature and popular culture. You will acquire intercultural skills to work in or with other cultures and societies.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study. Its aim is to facilitate the recognition of study periods undertaken by mobile students through the transfer of credits. The ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits are equivalent to the workload of full-time student during one academic year.
