Admission is based on a two-part examination:
- a C1 English language test
Please note (a C1 certificate issued by the Institute of English Studies or by the University of Warsaw within the previous 5 years absolves the student from taking the test. For more information about this subject please contact: k.klosinska@uw.edu.pl)
- a written examination from two chosen specialisations, encompassing the material offered by the Undergraduate study programme, selected from the following:
1. Linguistics
2. British literature and culture
3. American literature and culture
This written exam includes tasks from the fields of: linguistics, cultural studies, literary criticism and the literature and culture of English-speaking countries, at an undergraduate level.
MA studies are intended for candidates who have successfully completed their undergraduate studies having attained a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. Students choose their Master’s Seminars according to their personal interests and preferences. The choice of a seminar determines course modules, including specialization courses.
The Institute presents students with a variety of MA Seminars taught by distinguished professors. The concept of building one’s study and research experience around a seminar in which teachers collaborate with students is as innovative and unique as our highly personalized course system. It encourages students to build their own study program under the guidance of a qualified thesis advisor. This study program gives students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in one of the three main fields: Linguistics, British and American Literature and British and American Culture and also promotes cross-discipline research. All obligatory and optional courses associated with a student’s major are taught in English. In addition, the Institute offers courses that incorporate the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) method of teaching.
