British studies is the academic study of Britain — its culture, geography and history. Britain is significant as a topic because it was the location of the industrial revolution; the British Empire was large and influential in world history; and English is now a major international language. The topic is especially studied in the USA as students there often have a heritage of British ancestry which encourages Anglophilia while the shared language of English makes British culture readily accessible.[1] In Germany, the topic is a specialism of Kulturkunde and Landeskunde and there is a Journal for the Study of British Cultures.[2] A course was started at the University of Texas in 1975 and, more recently, courses have started at other universities such as Columbia, Yale[1] and the Faculty of World Studies at University of Tehran.[3] References1. ^1 {{citation |url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2011/may/02/british-studies-american-academics |journal=The Guardian |title=British studies, the latest import from the US? |author=Zoë Corbyn |date=2 May 2011}} 2. ^{{citation |title=A Dictionary of Cultural and Critical Theory |author1=Michael Payne |author2=Jessica Rae Barbera |pages=253–255 |isbn=978-1-4051-6890-8 |year=2010}} 3. ^http://fws.ut.ac.ir/ltr/Groups.aspx?Ind=-1&Id=112&LanId=2 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150521224056/http://fws.ut.ac.ir/ltr/Groups.aspx?Ind=-1&Id=112&LanId=2# |date=2015-05-21 }} | University of Tehran, Faculty of British Studies Further reading
