Graduates of the Master i engelsk (Master in English) at UiA go on to work in media, schools, and businesses, leveraging their specialized knowledge in English language and literature. This programme delivers comprehensive theoretical foundations in both literary and linguistic studies, with a rigorous focus on key literary works, analytical strategies, and the reflection of cultural and political themes in literature. You can specialize in either English literary studies, where you will explore significant literary works, or English linguistic studies, where you will examine the structure and processing of the English language through experimentation and theoretical study.

Students engage in seminars, discussions, and presentations to develop their skills in English, with an emphasis on scientific communication and critical analysis. Practical experience is available through exchange programmes with universities in Norway, Europe, and globally, supported by information on scholarships and exchange processes. Students also benefit from a supportive and inclusive learning environment, with social and academic activities facilitated by the Linguistica student association.
