BA English and American Studies

The Bachelors degree is designed to gives students the tools to consider English language and culture and the manifestations of that language and culture critically and reflectively in literary and non-literary texts. This not only means becoming familiar with relevant theories and methods for approaching English-language texts. It also means acquiring communication and cultural skills - which means knowledge of English-speaking cultures and populations in the context of the spreading of English around the world. As the course focuses on language, literature and culture in a foreign-language context, students will experience a change of cultural perspective as they work with and on these texts, which will give them a better understanding of their own and the foreign culture .
