In today's world, the English language occupies a preeminent place precisely because it is the lingua franca and the vehicle of communication between the world's nations. Around 851% of texts circulating on the World Wide Web are in English; the current high level of mobility of people around the world is primarily based on the use of English as a means of communication; science in general, technology in particular, and business relations are largely conducted in this language.
The degree in English Studies addresses these challenges posed by an increasingly global society, in which English is an essential tool for communication. It guides its graduates toward professional activity beyond the teaching world and provides them with skills and abilities that will qualify them to tackle many of the tasks required by the business world.
Consequently, knowledge of English is essential for active participation in the global arena: knowledge of it enables rapid and effective access to fluid communication, information, and science.
The degree in English Studies is especially suitable for students interested in learning subjects related to the English language and Anglo-American studies, translation, interpreting, and other fields.
They must also have an interest in reading and writing English; an interest in expressing themselves adequately in the language; a critical mind; and an interest in culture and human thought.
The career opportunities offered by the degree in English Studies are open to all fields where the use of the English language is essential. One of the most traditional occupations, and one that has provided and continues to provide the highest job placement rate for these professionals, is language teaching, both formal and informal. However, English Studies graduates have a broader range of opportunities, working in positions in the language and cultural management industries, as well as in professions associated with the advancement of new technologies or the internationalization and use of English in numerous fields of politics, economics, and business. Therefore, we will find these graduates in areas and departments as varied as media, marketing, technology, international relations, translation and interpreting, research, cooperation and development, and quality.
