Master in Language and literature studies (English)

Language and Literature Studies (English) is a master's degree taught in English over two years (four semesters) at the Philological School of Higher Education in Wrocław, Poland, offered in a part-time format. The programme is available in three specialisations: Specialised Translation Studies covering Polish-English and English-Polish translation, Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and a general specialisation with free choice among available courses and no specified professional profile. MA seminars cover linguistics, applied linguistics, literary studies, and culture studies. The part-time format involves eight weekends of classes per semester, held Saturday and Sunday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., with students signing up online each September for class times, specialization courses, and course format, and a distance education platform offering online course options. The Specialised Translation track requires a good command of both Polish and English, at a minimum of C1 CEFR level, and students must register for at least four full specialised translation courses, accumulating a minimum of 24 ECTS credits. Graduates can continue to third-cycle PhD study or begin a professional career in translation or a related language industry. A master's programme in English philology structured around translation and teaching specialisations, as this one is, typically equips graduates for careers as professional translators, language teachers, editors, or communication specialists, combining advanced linguistic study with practical, applied coursework suited to part-time study alongside other commitments.
