Overview
The second-cycle English Studies Programme is unique in the Baltic States. It covers three aspects of study: literatures written in the English language, English linguistics and culture of English-speaking countries, mainly, the United Kingdom and USA. The three components are interrelated; however, students are provided with an array of optional courses, which help them narrow down their area of study to one aspect, if they are inclined to do so.
The basic aim of the programme is to develop students’ critical and independent thinking and to improve decision making abilities, rather than to provide them with knowledge in the subjects studied.
Career opportunities
The programme prepares graduates for an academic career (research in linguistics, literary and cultural studies), for a career in education (as teachers or lecturers, teaching or educational administration) and in publishing, translation agencies.
