The study of English aims to provide insight into the English language system, and parts of its historical, regional and social variation. Another important aim is to increase the students' proficiency in the use of modern English. The course focuses on English literature from various time periods, genres and geographical areas, and on analyses of cultural, political and historical features which form the basis for current events and situations in English-speaking societies (mainly Great Britain, Ireland and the US).

Developing your oral and written skills in communicating is a central aspect of the course of studying English at all levels. Since all teaching is in English, the ability to understand and express oneself in English is of great importance. It is also an important part of the students to gain maximum benefit from lectures and group discussions. It is expected that students continuously strive to develop their linguistic competence in English.
