Here you can find all you need to know about courses and programmes at the Department of English. We offer a wide range of courses taught by highly qualified scholars, at the undergraduate, master and doctoral levels.
We are situated in the English Park Campus, alongside dozens of other university departments. This close proximity to researchers and students from other disciplines creates a dynamic and productive learning environment. Every term about 500 students enroll in our courses.

The first-term (or A-level curriculum) combines language proficiency training with modules in language structure, literature,and linguistics. All of these areas are explored further in the second (B level) and third term (C level) of study, where one of the courses, C1, includes a degree project. We also offer a number of part-time, 7.5-credit courses in language proficiency, culture and society, and literature.
Parallel to the general course offerings, there are also a range of courses that focus on English for special purposes (so-called "ESP" courses).
Our two-year Master's Programme is divided into three specialisations: English Linguistics, English Literature, and American Literature and Culture. Most of the courses that make up the programme are also offered as separate electives. The first year of the programme can be adapted to lead to a one-year Master's (“magister” degree).
The three sections of the Department - English Language, English Literature, and American Literature - offer a wide range of research possibilities. The doctorate requires one and a half years of full-time coursework (90 credits), as well as a 150-credit thesis.
We offer programmes for both elementary and secondary school teachers, and provide continuing education courses for experienced classroom teachers.
If you are interested in American Studies you will find courses comprising 7.5 or 30 credits, taught by specialists from the Swedish Institute for North American Studies (SINAS).
Our Celtic Studies Section, the only one of its kind in Scandinavia, gives students an overview of the indigenous languages and cultures of the British Isles. You may choose from individual 7.5-credit courses, some of which are also offered as web-based distance courses, or full 30-credit blocks.
