This master's programme in English Studies at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, is taught in English and runs for 2 years, with yearly tuition of 3,000 PLN. It suits applicants who already hold a BA in English, or who hold a diploma in any other language and can demonstrate English proficiency at the C1 CEFR level through a certificate such as an IELTS score of 7 or a TOEFL IBT score of 85. Nicolaus Copernicus University is described as one of the best research universities in Poland, and the programme lets students explore English language literature, culture, and linguistics from the outset. Students specialize in Editing and Publishing, Translation Studies (which requires a practical command of Polish), or Teaching English as a Foreign Language (which also requires working knowledge of Polish), or they may combine two of the three specializations. Editing and Publishing covers current developments in copy-editing, textual scholarship, and digital and desktop publishing, with attention to Anglophone book and magazine analysis. Translation Studies develops translation and interpreting skills alongside translation theory. Teaching English as a Foreign Language provides the theory, practical skills, and formal qualifications needed to teach in Polish schools at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Alongside specialization courses, students take elective seminars in literature, culture, and linguistics, plus required Academic English, Business English, and Translation Lab classes. Graduates of programmes in this field typically move into careers in publishing, translation and interpreting, teaching, and cultural or media organizations, drawing on both their linguistic precision and their grounding in English-language literature and culture. Toruń itself is a historic university city in northern Poland, offering an established academic environment for graduate-level humanities study.
