Our four-year programme offers a distinctive and flexible degree, taught in a world leading institution (our research was ranked 1st in Area Studies and Impact in the REF 2021). You will be able to explore modules that provide an understanding of the historical, political, social, and international issues concerning the Americas and their global relevance. This programme enhances learning and cultural awareness with a compulsory year abroad. Our aim is to provide a thorough grounding and opportunities for specialisation in history and politics. Alongside the development of disciplinary expertise, the degree programme promotes cross-disciplinary insight. You will learn how polities and societies evolve, how different disciplinary perspectives relate to each other, and how these perspectives can combine to give a more nuanced understanding of the Americas and their global relevance.
