You will thoroughly examine English language literature all the way from the first known books in English to the modern authors of the 21st century. Text analysis can also include other forms of media than written literature, for example, film, TV, pictures or IT content.
In the programme, you will also study social subjects, where there is focus on the English speaking countries' society and history. It can be American governmental structure with Congress and the Senate or the English bicameral system.
A fourth aspect in the English programme is the culture in the English speaking countries. Here you will have lessons in culture theories and analysis as well as cultural history.
