The new MA programme LANGUAGE AND CULTURE offered by the Department of English and American Studies at Sofia University started in 2012/13. Designed to develop students’ competence and practical skills in English language communication in intercultural contexts, it relies on the experience we gained in our preceding programmes of linguistics and culture. We are now enlarging the scope of the respective fields by offering an even greater number of options.
It is interdisciplinary and trains students in the humanities to interpret different types of texts and narratives, using the tools of textual, visual and cultural analysis in line with the demands of education in the 21st century.
The programme is targeted at BA graduates in English or another philology, as well as non-philology graduates with a high competence in English (level C1 of the European Language Portfolio) who wish to build a career in academic and professional fields such as TEFL, language consultancy, applied linguistics, British/American cultures, journalism, advertising, international relations, publishing, project development and coordination, and so on.
It is flexible and offers a number of courses in a blended form of learning (e-learning).
More information about the programme and the courses taught can be found on the Department of English and American Studies website.
