The BA programme in English & American Studies is designed to provide students with a wide knowledge of English-speaking cultures, primarily those of the UK and the USA, and their societies, history, language, and literatures. In the first stage of their studies, students receive intensive English language training and complete introductory courses in literature, culture and linguistics.

The programme offers applied subjects, such as English as a Foreign Language, Academic English, Academic Composition, Academic Writing, Sociolinguistics and Second Language Acquisition. All students are required to write a BA thesis.

In the course of the programme the main focus is on developing skills of reading and developing a critical understanding of academic and scholarly texts, writing basic texts on general and academic topics; speaking about general and academic topics and the general topics of courses taught (such as literature, linguistics, history, and culture). Graduates of the Faculty usually choose their careers in cultural and public administration, tourism, international business, teaching, translation, journalism, academia, editing, diplomacy, international relations, project management, local government, or the media.

Specialisation options: English Studies, American Studies, Business English (and, later on, in the MA program: Applied Linguistics, Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies, or Gender Studies).
