Story

The American Studies programme at Canterbury Christ Church University is widely recognised as one of the most successful in the United Kingdom, whether in terms of the high standard of the teaching on offer, the quality of the student learning experience, or the breadth and multi-disciplinarity of the curriculum that ranges from the colonial period and the American Revolution to the Presidency of Barack Obama and America's so-called "culture wars" over issues such as immigration, gun control and capital punishment. The programme explores many facets of US history and society as well as examining America’s role in the world, including US foreign policy in Latin America.
