In line with internationalisation and the spread of the internet, there is a growing need for graduates with skills in English – in private business, too.

The degree in English at Odense provides an in-depth course in English language and culture with emphasis on the United Kingdom, Ireland and USA as well as references to cultures within the remainder of the English-speaking world (e.g. South Africa, Canada and Australia) and to the international language of our time.
The course will give you the opportunity to develop your basic knowledge of English, both written and oral. You will acquire both a practical and a theoretical foundation, and this will allow you to become more closely acquainted with the culture of English-speaking countries.
The course in English is an academic study where you will learn to understand and communicate complex issues especially relating to British and American culture, language, literature and society.
