Major Filologia angielsko-chińska

2025/26, First-cycle programme, Full-time

The BA in English and Chinese Studies is a major conducted at the Faculty of English in cooperation with the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Faculty of Modern Languages and Literatures at AMU. The English and Chinese Studies offer students the opportunity to learn the languages and literatures as well as the elements of history and culture of the United Kingdom or the United States (depending on the student’s choice) and of China, as well as obtain a C1 level of proficiency in English and a B1 level in Chinese, in speech and writing. English and Chinese are languages of global importance and coverage. Knowing both languages and having an appropriate level of knowledge on English-speaking countries and China, after completing these studies, graduates will have the chance to be in a particularly favourable situation in the job market. The studies in our major will equip students with the competences expected of candidates for employees of, among others, international companies as well as institutions concerned with international cooperation between European countries and China.

All English subjects (i.e. core courses) are taught in English together for students of both programmes: the Polish programme and the English programme, with recruitment for the Polish programme taking place before each academic year, and recruitment for the Polish programme every few years (depending on the decision of dean authorities). In contrast, the language of instruction in sinological courses (major courses) depends on the chosen programme: it is Polish in the Polish programme and English in the English programme. Students choose an accent (British or American, in EFL courses) only once – at the start of the first semester, and in the subsequent semesters they continue their studies with the accent chosen at the beginning.
