Bachelor in English Language and Literature

At TOBB University of Economics and Technology, tuition fees are 16,500 USD per year.

English Language and Literature programs examine the English language and its literary traditions, covering works of poetry, drama, and prose from different historical periods alongside the study of linguistics, grammar, and rhetoric. Students read and analyze texts closely, developing skills in critical thinking, argumentation, and written expression that are valued well beyond literary studies. Courses often trace the development of English literature chronologically, from early works through modern and contemporary writing, while also addressing literary theory and methods of textual analysis. Because the discipline requires close reading and clear writing, students graduate with strong communication skills applicable to teaching, publishing, media, translation, and other language-related professions. Some graduates go on to teach English, work in publishing or journalism, or pursue graduate study in literature, linguistics, or a related humanities field. This bachelor program is offered at TOBB University of Economics and Technology in Ankara, Turkey, and is taught in English, which suits a discipline centered on the English language itself. The program runs over 4 years, the standard length for a bachelor's degree in Turkey. Ankara, as the capital city, is home to a range of cultural institutions, libraries, and academic resources that can support literary and linguistic study. Studying English Language and Literature in an English-medium environment gives students direct engagement with texts in their original language rather than through translation, which is central to the discipline's method of close reading and analysis.
