Bachelor in English Language and Literature

Tuition comes to 16,500 USD per year.

This program in English Language and Literature introduces students to the study of English texts across genres and historical periods, combined with training in linguistics and language structure. Students typically progress through courses on major literary movements, individual works, and critical theory, learning to construct well-supported written arguments about texts and their meanings. Alongside literary study, linguistics coursework may cover the structure, history, and use of the English language itself. The discipline is reading- and writing-intensive by nature, and students are expected to produce regular essays, presentations, and analytical assignments throughout the program. Graduates commonly pursue careers in teaching, publishing, editing, translation, or communications, drawing on the strong analytical and writing skills built during their studies, while others continue into graduate programs in literature or linguistics. Offered at TOBB University of Economics and Technology in Ankara, Turkey, this bachelor program runs for 4 years and is taught in English, reflecting the subject matter's direct engagement with the English language and its literary tradition. Ankara, as Turkey's capital, offers access to national archives, libraries, and cultural institutions that support literary research. The 4-year duration matches the standard length of bachelor's degrees in the Turkish higher education system, and English-medium instruction allows students to study literary texts in their original language throughout the program.
