American Studies

Course Overview

Offered by University of Nottingham, the MRes American Studies provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in languages and area studies. Based in Nottingham, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 1-year full-time and part-time structure. Studying American culture and history illuminates the crucial role the US has played in shaping the modern world, as well as the tensions around race, class, and gender that have fuelled the expression and reception of the nation's founding values. Our department houses the largest concentration of US-focused postgraduates and academics in Britain and is dedicated to examining the full breadth of this history. If you already have a clear idea of the area and topic you wish to research as a PhD, then you can effectively lay the ground work for this by doing a masters by research. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 98% student satisfaction rating, a 100% continuation rate, and 76% of graduates in employment or further study.
