The Bachelor's Degree in English Studies provides an in-depth knowledge of the English language and literatures, as well as a solid philological training in different disciplines such as linguistics, literature theory, second-language teaching and translation. Moreover, attaining such knowledge involves studying the cultural reality of countries where English is spoken, as well as situations of communicative exchange in which English is used as a vehicular language.
From the third academic year onwards, students can choose between intensifying their preparation in English Studies by means of the degree’s optional subjects, or complementing their studies with a second language, by taking a minor programme. A minor is a set of 30 optional credits, granted to students of a second language who have previously taken subjects counting for 12 basic training credits.
All English Studies students take Spanish and Catalan, as they are compulsory subjects, and even if they don’t take a minor programme, they must study a second language (Arabic, Basque, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Russian).
