Course Description
The interdisciplinary MA program InterAmerican Studies/Estudios InterAmericanos deals with social, cultural, historical, and political developments in the Americas both on a national and transnational level. Updated with recent academic research, our program focuses on transnational and intercultural issues, as well as on the dynamics of globalization and world politics. We provide a space for an interdisciplinary dialogue between Literary, Cultural, and Media Studies, Linguistics, Sociology, Political Science, and Transnational History. Therefore, applicants for the MA program InterAmerican Studies/Estudios InterAmericanos are expected to be interested in interdisciplinary analysis, intercultural exchange, international relations, and studying abroad.
As an international MA program, we offer all our courses in English and Spanish. Our students develop an in-depth knowledge of the cultures, societies, and histories of the Americas. In particular, they develop the ability to navigate transnational contexts and transcultural interrelationships. Moreover, since the demand for media skills in the job market has been continuously increasing, the MA program InterAmerican Studies/Estudios Inter-Americanos carries out annual media study projects.
As part of its international profile, the MA program InterAmerican Studies/Estudios InterAmericanos offers a double degree option with the Maestría en Literaturas Interamericanas at the Universidad de Guadalajara (Mexico). This option allows those interested to complete both the MA program in Bielefeld and the Maestría in Guadalajara at the same time.
With its double cultural focus on the North and Latin American regions, our program trains experts in international, intercultural, and social communication processes with key qualifications in the areas of cultural mediation and knowledge transfer. This interdisciplinary character enables a variety of career choices. Graduates of our MA program work in various areas such as management consulting, international organizations, event and cultural management, press and the media, tourism, consulates, and embassies, as well as at universities and language schools.
