This new four-year programme offers an innovative curriculum that aims to provide understanding of the historical, political, social, and international issues concerning the Americas. Our teaching combines education in history, social sciences, research methods, and language competence to prepare students for a wide range of global careers. This programme enhances students’ learning and cultural awareness with a compulsory year abroad. Our aim is to provide a thorough grounding and opportunities for specialization 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. Assessment will be based on various types of written coursework and formal examinations, with learning also evaluated through speaking contributions and oral presentations.  Our graduates, equipped with both multidisciplinary competences and area expertise, will be well situated for careers in the private and public sectors (in fields including finance, politics, diplomacy, teaching, NGOs, and international organizations). We also anticipate they will be well equipped to move on to further study and research.
