Course description

The program transcends the usual boundaries within English studies, merging literature, linguistics, and cultural studies of the English-speaking world, excluding North America. This approach offers a fresh, integrated, and global perspective on the subjects. Courses and study areas will not be limited to a single national literature but will explore intercultural and transcultural phenomena. The program aims to enhance students' understanding of historical contexts and the connections between literature and other texts and media.
