Competence aims in focus:

The aims of the studies are to enable students to:

  • elaborate on and discuss the relationship between form, content and stylistic register in sentences and texts
  • interpret a representative selection of texts from literary-historical periods in English literature, from the Renaissance up to the present time
  • have a command of the terminology needed for analysing works of fiction, films and other aesthetic forms of expression 
  • use a nuanced, well-developed and precise vocabulary to communicate on literature and culture
  • analyse and assess … a selection of other artistic forms of expression within English-language culture
