Description

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. It is, therefore, a myth that a degree in English is directed solely at future teaching at high school – a fact that is also evident in the revised syllabus for English at Odense.

On the English course you will get a chance to acquire specialist knowledge in a variety of self-chosen disciplines, allowing your courses to be tailored to your particular needs and wishes.

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.

Career Opportunities  

The degree will open a variety of avenues of work in diverse fields demanding high- level English skills in combination with intercultural competences and with academic methods of self-education as well as the capacity for taking independent responsibility.
