Bachelor in Literary studies

Literary studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań is a bachelor's degree delivered entirely in English over three years, with tuition set at 6000 PLN per year. Known on campus as English Studies: Literature and Culture, the program takes an interdisciplinary approach to culture and cultural phenomena, training students to analyze how societies produce and interpret meaning through literature, media, and other cultural artifacts. Graduates are expected to develop what the program describes as cultural literacy: the capacity to read signs and symbols across contexts and respond to the complexities of the contemporary world with informed judgment. Coursework centers on the English-speaking world, covering the literature, history, and culture of countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, all of which continue to hold significant weight in international economic and political affairs. Alongside literary and cultural analysis, students build linguistic competence and communication skills needed to discuss social, political, and cultural questions in English at an academic level. The curriculum also includes modules in information technology and digital humanities, reflecting an effort to connect traditional literary study with digital tools and methods. Beyond textual analysis, the program aims to cultivate critical, creative, and unconventional thinking, skills that literature and cultural studies graduates typically carry into fields such as publishing, journalism, education, translation, cultural management, and further postgraduate research. Students who complete the degree leave with both subject expertise in Anglophone culture and transferable analytical and writing skills applicable across communication-focused careers. All three years of study are taught in English, making the program accessible to international applicants without Polish language preparation, while still situating them within Poznań's academic environment at one of Poland's established universities.
