This is a dual degree programme, leading to two university degrees; one degree is awarded by the British University of York and one by NBU.
English Language and Professional Communication prepares specialists in the field of English language, linguistics, foreign language education and professional communication in media, marketing and management. Students acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills, thus increasing their future career opportunities. The programme includes modules such as intercultural communication, sociolinguistics, media studies, principles of marketing, public relations, teaching English, introduction to translation, digital literacy, etc. This innovative program is appropriate for anyone who aspires to teach, become a linguist, or wishes to work in media, public relations, marketing, advertising, translation, journalism, or education.
Students graduate with two diplomas from prestigious universities: one from the University of York, UK, and a second from New Bulgarian University. The course of study provides not only for the acquisition of in-depth theoretical knowledge, but also for the acquisition of important professional skills through opportunities for a variety of practical activities. Graduates of this one-of-a-kind program are competitive in fields such as teaching, media, advertising, marketing, public relations, publishing and journalism. Students have access to a multi-purpose learning space with a wealth of literature on the subjects studied, electronic databases and reference books, and modern labs with information technology and specialized software for research projects in English. With the support and assistance of highly qualified and motivated lecturers, students have the opportunity to participate in scientific conferences, conduct research and publish results in reputable academic journals. The full course of study is 8 semesters, with the entire third year at CITY College, University of York, Europe Campus. Student mobility to York is also planned. The two diplomas provide the opportunity to continue studying in Masters and PhD programmes in Bulgaria and abroad.
