Bachelor in English studies

State Higher Vocational School in Walcz, Poland, offers a bachelor's programme in Applied Linguistics -- English studies, taught in English over 3 years / 6 semesters, with yearly tuition of 2,000 EUR. The programme is designed for students who want to study English even if they are not yet strong in the language, and it offers two specialties: English for legal and economic circulation (Translations), and the structure and cultural aspects of the English language (Philology), each with the option of an extra specialization in language teaching. Graduates receive a bachelor's degree and become specialists in English. During the six semesters, students study, take part in projects, gain work experience through internships, and accumulate a minimum of 180 ECTS credits, which allows transfer to other universities within the European Union; graduates are also prepared to continue on to master's studies. In the chosen primary language, graduates reach a native-like command at C1 level of the Common European Framework for Languages set by the Council of Europe. Within the specialties, students develop skills in translation and interpretation, both sight and consecutive, for publishers, academic institutions, civil society organizations, government bodies, and the media, alongside study of the theoretical and practical aspects of the language, literature, and culture. Students are also required to study a secondary foreign language to B2 level, with options including German and Spanish. This kind of applied, internship-linked structure suits students aiming for practical careers in translation, publishing, or international administration rather than purely academic study, while the ECTS credit system keeps the degree compatible with further study elsewhere in the EU.
