The MA North American Studies is a transdisciplinary, research orientated degree program which builds on the experience of the North American Studies Program of the University of Bonn established in 1990. The MA program aims at students who are dedicated to transdisciplinary work and intercultural exchange, have a strong background, for instance, in literary and cultural studies, political science, history, postcolonial studies, economics, or media studies, want to gain expertise in North American culture, literature, politics, history, and economics and pursue a Master of Arts (MA).
This fully accredited two-years program (120 CP) comprises of seven modules, with literary and cultural studies at its core, and allows you to do original research for your MA thesis. The program offers you a unique variety of possible specializations, made possible by joining forces with the MA program in North American Studies at the University of Cologne and a cooperation of different institutes and faculties of the University of Bonn, including the Department of British, American and Celtic Studies, the Institute of Political Science and Sociology, the Department of Economics, the Institutes of Media Studies, Art History, Philosophy, and Geography, and the Department of Protestant Theology. In this way the MA North American Studies gives you the opportunity to focus on specific areas of interest while also undergoing a systematic training in transdisciplinary scholarly research and debate.
