Dear students,
The aim of the English Language and Literature study program is to prepare students for the global market where English language is one of the most preferable communication choices. In this Program, students have a number of English language and literature specific courses that they have to complete, but they also have a freedom of choice to study some University, Program or Faculty elective courses offered in different semesters during the first cycle of their studies. The multidisciplinary nature of the English Language and Literature study program and its emphasis on developing students’ intrapersonal, interpersonal and communication skills ensures that students will graduate with a set of skills that can be applied to various careers.

Bachelor Studies in ELIT
English Language and Literature (ELIT) program promotes interdisciplinary research and encourages cooperative learning and discussion in the classroom. After completing our program, students will understand the value of communication and representation in the context of English as a global language, and how language and culture determine a nation’s understanding and ability to represent its identity. Students will become more confident about their ability to use English in different contexts.
They will also be prepared to teach English as a foreign language in many settings or pursue academic research in the field of literature and related disciplines. What makes our program different and unique is the University’s approach to higher education, which is international and interdisciplinary, whereby students are provided with individual attention and academic guidance.
