Take your English skills to the next level

The School of English and American Studies offers a BA programme in English and American studies. The

programme may be completed as a major programme or as a minor programme, the latter is only available

for students who are in another major programme at ELTE. Students taking the programme as a major opt for

either the English or the American track at the end of the first term. The threeyear long programme does not

provide teaching qualifications.

Full of opportunities

Students in the English studies track within the BA programme in English and American Studies are offered

a chance to acquaint themselves with the foundations of information technology and typography in the first

phase of their studies. This is followed by a series of seminars and lectures aimed at developing students’

competence in using English as a language of global communication, academic writing, and everyday

oral argumentation in a scholarly and business environment. Students will thus attain the foundations of

academic research, evaluation and critical thinking in English literature, British and American socio-political

history, and develop an understanding of the linguistic levels of description and analysis of English (phonol-

ogy and syntax).

Students opting for the American Studies track within the BA programme in English are given the opportunity

to acquaint themselves with the background and idiosyncratic features of American history, culture, liter-

ature, and the American variety of English. By focusing on these areas of research, the aim of the American

Studies track is to impart the students with the foundations of critical thinking and academic research in

order to prepare them for future studies or for successful endeavours when entering the job market.
