STUDY ENGLISH PHILOLOGY

If you want to be well prepared to face the challenges of a highly competitive job market, study English Philology full time at the University of Opole. This is the place where students gain advanced knowledge of language, literature, and culture and history of English-speaking countries as well as practical language skills at a high C1 proficiency level of CEFR for languages. Additionally, students develop a second foreign language at B2 level. Moreover, within their study programme students choose an educational path through elective courses that add competence to their general academic education. Full time studies offer such elective modules as: Culture Studies, Translation Studies, English and Spanish or English and Italian, expanding their employment options in the future.

The classes on full-time studies are held from Monday through Friday. Some courses are conducted online, others are held in classrooms on the university site. All lecturers are available to students during their office hours to discuss academic issues relating to the courses. 

Bachelor of Arts studies (undergraduate studies) finish with a BA defense and a BA degree. Undergraduate studies in English Philology prepare candidates for graduate studies in a similar field.
