Bachelor in English Language and Literature

English Language and Literature focuses on the study of literary works, critical theory, and the structure and history of the English language. Coursework typically spans British, American, and world literature written in English, alongside courses in linguistics, literary criticism, and academic writing. Students read and analyze texts across genres and historical periods, developing skills in close reading, argumentation, and research, while some programs also include coursework in translation or comparative literature. Graduates pursue careers in teaching, publishing, editing, journalism, translation, and other fields that draw on strong written and analytical skills in English, and the degree also serves as preparation for graduate study in literature, linguistics, or education. This bachelor program runs for 4 years and is taught in English at Atılım University in Ankara, Turkey. Studying the discipline in an English-medium format allows students to engage directly with primary texts in their original language throughout the curriculum. Ankara, as Turkey's capital, offers access to libraries, cultural institutions, and academic resources that support literary and linguistic study.
