North American Studies (NAS)

["Our MA in North American Studies is a two-year research-oriented programme. It attracts graduates interested in transdisciplinary work and intercultural exchange who wish to gain a thorough expertise in North American cultures, literatures, politics, histories, and economics. The curriculum puts literary and cultural studies at its core and offers a unique variety of potential fields of specialisation. Run in joint venture with the Master's programme in North American Studies at the University of Cologne, our MA allows students to focus on areas of their own scholarly interests at different schools and departments, both in Bonn and Cologne. Since we stress systematic training in transdisciplinary work, students have the opportunity to conduct original research toward an MA thesis.Beyond its long-standing alliances with U.S. and Canadian universities and research institutions, our programme also cooperates with the embassies of the United States and Canada. Throughout the years, we have kept in contact with our alumni, who pursue careers in journalism, publishing, media, public administration, politics and the foreign service, business, law as well as teaching and research. If you have similar professional aspirations, our MA in North American Studies will be an excellent choice."]
