American Studies
American Studies will help you deepen your understanding and knowledge of the culture, history and society of the USA while providing a range of skills crucial to success, both in university and in the world of work. We'll create a friendly and supportive academic culture in which our enthusiasm, knowledge and active involvement with the subject as teachers and researchers foster an awareness of various issues - such as ethnicity, identity, class, gender, representation and power - that are relevant to both the study of America and your own wider experience of life.

International Relations and Global Development
The world is increasingly becoming a more interconnected and complex place. During this course you'll explore the environmental, geographical, political, social, cultural and economic aspects of international relations and the challenges it faces. You'll also evaluate global development, looking at the complex and uneven patterns associated with the process of globalisation. Throughout the course you'll study key international relations and development themes, such as the relationship between the state and its citizens, the politics of development as reflected in the growing development gap between rich and poor countries, the idea of social justice, human rights, globalisation and democratisation.
