Course
Course 30 credits • ENGK01
The course ENGK01 is currently not being offered
This is the BA course in English, that is, the course you need to finish in order to be able to get a BA (bachelor's degree) in English. You need a BA in order to go on to get an MA (master's degree).
At Lund University you get a BA in either English linguistics or English literature. However, your do not need to choose your specialisation before the start of the course, and you will get more information in the intro meeting. It may be a good idea, though, to start thinking about this choice as early as possible.
This course is also offered as a part-time course, in which term 1 consists of all the course modules (see below) except the degree project, and term 2 is spent completeing the 15-credit degree project.
If you have studied English at a university elsewhere, you need to have finished 60 relevant credits to be eligible. If you haven't yet got 60 credits of English, you may apply for a waiver. Please see the instructions here: www.sol.lu.se/engelska/for-studenter/dispens/
The contents of the course (English level 3)
This course is considerably more academic than the previous courses in English (ENGA04 and ENGA22), and the main focus is on the degree project (worth 15 credits). The choice between literature and linguistics also determines most of the other courses you take. If your specialisation is linguistics, you take English linguistics (6 credits) and typically a linguistic Elective course (5 credits), while if your specialisation is literature, you take English literature (6 credits) and usually a literary Elective course (5 credits).
Finally, there is also a proficiency component (4 credits), consisting of Vocabulary (2 credits) and Translation (2 credits).
After the course (English level 3)
After having finished this course you can get a BA (bachelor's degree) in English, provided that you also have 90 credits in other subjects. When you have a BA, you can apply to a master's programme and go on to get an MA (master's degree) in English. At the Centre for Languages and Literature (SOL) there is a master's programme in translation, a master's programme in literature, culture and media, and a master's programme in languages and linguistics.
There is also the possibility of studying 1.5 years at Campus Helsingborg to become a school teacher (KPU Kompletterande Pedagogisk Utbildning), when you have 90 or 120 credits of English. Please consult the relevant information about KPU at www.uvet.lu.se/utbildning/amneslararutbildning/kompletterande-pedagogisk-utbildning/.
Today it is normally necessary to have an MA if you want to be a Ph.D. student and eventually get a Ph.D. and teach English at university level.
We also offer the English BA course as a part-time course (50% = 15 credits per semester). Part-time students take the following modules their first semester (15 credits in total): 0701 Literary Theory and Method (6 credits) or 0702 English Linguistics (6 credits), 0703 Translation (2 credits), 0704 Vocabulary (2 credits), 0705 Elective Course (5 credits) Then the part-time students devote their second semester to their bachelor's degree project (15 credits). From the spring of 2016 the first and the second term of the English BA course will have their own course codes, so that English 61-75 credits will be ENGH05 and English 76-90 will be ENGK06. However, those of you who have already been registered to take ENGK01 at half-speed should continue to do so.
