Why American Studies at Hull?

The calibre of teaching here is first-rate. 

American Studies at Hull was officially graded ‘excellent' for the quality of the education it provides, scoring 23 out of a possible 24.

We have consistently held one of the highest rankings in the National Student Satisfaction survey (achieving 95/100 in 2008).

The people who teach our programmes have distinguished national and international reputations for both teaching and research; and like the University of Hull in general, American Studies is rated as one of the friendliest departments in the country, on a scale intimate enough to generate a vibrant dialogue between students and lecturers.

Hull pioneered American Studies in Britain.

The subject has been taught here for half a century and, by virtue of being so well-established, we have built up one of the finest collections of American resources in any British university. And as you will see, we are constantly updating our teaching, with new modules in film, media, race, history and literature introduced every year.

• American Studies at Hull has the largest exchange programme in the UK, placing students for a full year of study in the United States.
• With approximately 40 different US campuses to choose from, ranging from the universities of California, New York and Maine to campuses in Arizona, Florida and Illinois, our exchanges offer all students on the Four Year programme an enormous range of study options.
