Welcome to the website of the Department of English Linguistics and Literature of the University of Miskolc!

Since its establishment in 1992, the main profile of our department has been to train English language teachers and English Studies students to be confident in their language skills and have a wide knowledge of the cultures of English-speaking people as well as intercultural skills which will enable them to become effective mediators between cultures.

Our department offers three types of training programs in the form of full-time and part-time courses.

The English Studies BA course introduces students to the theory and practice of intercultural communication in addition to the world of the English language, literature, and culture. Three learning tracks can be chosen: Linguistics, American studies, and British Literature. In addition to these tracks, students may also choose to complete a two-year specialisation in intercultural communication or any other minor program offered by the Faculty of Arts.

Those who wish not only to learn the English language, but also to teach it, can choose from a range of majors available on the double-major teacher training course alongside the English language and culture teacher major, or one of our teacher training programs. The specific feature of teacher training in Miskolc is that, in addition to talent development, it also prepares students for teaching young people with learning difficulties and introduces them to a number of teaching methods (e.g. experiential learning, drama pedagogy, digital education) that are suitable for motivating and engaging students in any educational setting.

The philosophy of our department is that every student participating in our training programs should receive individual support to develop their talents and achieve their goals.

We support those who have learning difficulties with remedial programs and individual mentoring. To those who are interested in gaining professional experience outside of the classroom, we also offer individual talent development, and opportunities to participate in various educational and research projects, as well as conference organisation.

Our graduates are equally at home in the world of education and culture as in the economic sphere.
