English Language and Literature, Teaching

English is the global language of economics, politics, law, technology, media, communication and intellectual progress.

The global need for English speakers requires higher education institutions to train staff who will professionally perform translation tasks from or into English, study the structure of the English language and improve English language teaching techniques.

A PhD is a doctoral research degree and the highest level of academic qualification you can achieve. The degree normally takes between three and four years of full-time work towards a thesis offering an original contribution to your subject of interest.

The 3rd cycle of study is organized and run as a three-year study program and it corresponds to 180 ECTS credits, where candidates acquire ECTS credits by passing exams in courses specified by the curriculum, conducting research in the specific area of the doctoral dissertation, and completing and successfully defending a doctoral dissertation.
