Transatlantic Studies examines the paradoxical connections between the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean. You will learn to analyse the past and present of multilayered exchanges between North America and Europe.

Something for you?

• You will study processes of cultural, geopolitical and economic exchange between North America and Europe
• Internships and international exchange options are embedded in the curriculum
• The programme is career oriented. You will acquire invaluable transferable skills in international classrooms, excursions, and interfaculty seminars

What will you learn:

In close collaboration with fellow students and staff, you will reflect on complex international interactions through themes such as global citizenship, democracy, international cooperation, freedom, equality, and human rights, all from a transatlantic perspective.

The interdisciplinary approach will allow you to use and synthesise knowledge from a wide range of sources, such as digital collections, social media, policy documents, visual media, literature and popular culture. You will acquire intercultural skills to work in or with other cultures and societies.
