Bachelor in English Language and Literature

English Language and Literature examines literary texts and the English language through both historical and critical lenses. The curriculum generally includes courses in British and American literature, literary theory, linguistics, and composition, with students developing skills in textual analysis, research writing, and critical interpretation across different literary periods and genres. Many programs also introduce comparative literature or translation studies as students progress, alongside seminars that emphasize independent research and argumentation. Career paths for graduates include teaching, publishing, media and journalism, editing, and translation work, in addition to further graduate study in literature or applied linguistics. This bachelor program is 4 years in length and is taught in English at Atılım University in Ankara, Turkey. Because the program is delivered in English, students engage with literary works in their original language rather than through translation. The Ankara location gives students access to the resources of Turkey's capital, including libraries and cultural institutions relevant to literary studies.
