It is a fact of life that everywhere experts are needed who not only speak English correctly, but who are also familiar with the societies and cultures of those countries where English is the first language. Experience has shown that an extraordinarily large number of employers seek experts with not merely an excellent command of the language, but also with the ability to make good use of their knowledge of the English-speaking world. The transmission of such cultural knowledge is the foundation of the MA course in English. Experience has also shown that, among others, MA-bearing English language and culture experts are sought in the following fields: the world of business the media the translation of books and periodicals diplomacy international relations institutes and think-tanks tourism agencies responsible for grant applications local government offices the arts The MA in English consists of the study of,, and Literature. Within this broad programme of study, there are courses which a student must register for and attend as 1

2 part of his or her degree programme. There are also specialisations tracks which give the student the opportunity to pursue his or her own, independent, in-depth research. A select few of the students graduating with an MA will have the opportunity to pursue PhD studies in English or Literature either in Hungary or abroad. With a view toward preparing students to be future researchers, the MA in English allows students to take courses in a wide variety of areas. A selection of those areas includes courses such as the following: (Teaching English as a Foreign Language, TEFL) Literature Culture English Literature by Period Film and Visual Culture Significant Authors and Artists in British Culture Postcolonial Literature MA programme title English Successful graduates of the MA in English will be awarded a degree in which the following three elements will appear The level of degree the graduate has attained (magister, master; abbreviation: MA) The academic discipline the graduate has studied (English) The specialization or concentration of study within the MA which the graduate has completed.
