BA/BS in Engelsk

The 180-credit bachelor in English provides an introduction to English linguistics, literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the present. Students study grammar and pronunciation, regional and social varieties of the language, and how literature relates to social conditions in English-speaking countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The programme builds critical thinking and analytical skills that are valued in working life, and students learn to interpret different texts. Teaching takes place on the Bergen campus, with libraries, reading rooms, a training centre and student organisations available. Graduates can work as teachers, translators, communications staff or in public administration, or continue to a master's in English.
