When you study American Studies and History at Sussex, you join a stimulating and collaborative community committed to interdisciplinarity.

You learn from leading experts about topics ranging from Civil War poetry to the history of the Civil Rights movement. You learn to think across disciplinary boundaries covering history, film, photography, literature and music.

Your year abroad in America enables you to gain a range of practical skills and experiences that will make you stand out as a graduate. We’re proud to have more prestigious American partner institutions – including UC Berkeley and Georgetown – than any other programme in England.

By thinking critically across disciplines, you learn a broad range of analytical and communication skills. These will be enhanced on your year abroad where you’ll gain invaluable cultural and social perspectives. As a result, you will be in demand in fields such as:

• journalism and marketing
• TV and film production
• finance and industry.
