The Department of English and American Studies provides teaching for the Bachelor degree programme English for Business as well the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes English Language and Literature – both of which can be studied either as a single major or in combination with another major. The Department trains future teachers in the double-major Master’s degree programme Teaching for Secondary Schools: English Language and Literature, and also awards doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in English Language.

The Department of English and American Studies teaches basic foundation courses in key linguistic and literary-cultural disciplines for students of English degrees. A wide range of elective courses reflect the individual research profiles of Department members. The Department also teaches courses in practical English language for students of non-English degrees. Research activities at the Department of English and American Studies involve a wide range of specializations from linguistics, literary theory, translation studies and cultural studies.

The Department is involved in long-term cooperation with a number of Czech and international universities and institutions, either as part of the Erasmus programme or on the basis of other bilateral agreements.

The Department also offers lifelong learning services including requalification courses for primary and secondary school teachers.
