The English Studies MA is a practice-oriented liberal arts language programme. The aim of the MA English Studies programme is to train specialists who have full mastery (C1 level) of the English language, are proficient users of the language and who have the necessary theoretical, methodological, and practical skills. Rather than mere passive receivers of information, students graduating from this MA programme will be specialists fully capable of undertaking independent and original investigations in a wide range of topics. Degree holders have in-depth knowledge of the English-speaking countries, including the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, South Africa and their literature, culture, social and political establishment, and history. Degree holders also know the basics of modern theoretical and applied linguistics, main trends, research topics, and all relevant research results relating to the English language. Degree holders can use their skills in business, media, education, book publishing, diplomacy, institutions of international relationships, tourism, project management offices, regional and national levels of administration, and cultural institutions. Degree holders are prepared to pursue research and studies on the PhD level.
