Course

This is the second half of the BA course in English, that is, the course you need to finish in order to be able to get a BA (bachelor's degree) in English. You need a BA in order to go on to get an MA (master's degree).

The contents of the course

This course consists of a degree project in English literature or English linguistics. To help you with your degree project, there's a seminar series, and you will also get supervision.

After the course

After having finished this course you can get a BA (bachelor's degree) in English, provided that you also have 90 credits in other subjects. When you have a BA, you can apply to a master's programme and go on to get an MA (master's degree) in English. At the Centre for Languages and Literature (SOL) there is a master's programme in translation, a master's programme in literature, culture and media, and a master's programme in languages and linguistics. 

There is also the possibility of studying 1.5 years at Campus Helsingborg to become a school teacher (KPU Kompletterande Pedagogisk Utbildning), when you have 90 or 120 credits of English and the same number of credits in another relevant subject. Please consult the relevant information about KPU at www.uvet.lu.se/utbildning/amneslararutbildning/kompletterande-pedagogisk-utbildning/.

Today it is normally necessary to have an MA if you want to be a Ph.D. student and eventually get a Ph.D. and teach English at university level.
