About the subject

North American Studies examines the regions and cultures of the United States and Canada with an interdisciplinary multi-methodological approach. Drawing on area and cultural studies traditions, it seeks Finnish responses to and interpretations of North American studies and research.

The University of Helsinki programme combines American and Canadian Studies into a single coherent interdiscipline. The programme is especially suited to those students who plan to work as teachers or researchers or in organisations and businesses with links and networks in the US or Canada.

Teaching is given mainly in Finnish or in English.
