English Language
English Language is an academic discipline that helps students master and proficiently use the language in various professional fields and everyday life. By pursuing the major, students can explore and research the language, history, and culture of English-speaking countries (such as the UK and the US). They will also be equipped with supplementary knowledge in economics, finance, tourism, events, teaching, etc., to meet the demands of the current job market. In the current trend of "multinationalization", having a solid foundation and fluency in the English language is a significant advantage. Majors of the language also have greater opportunities to continue their studies, research, and work in other developed countries where English is used. Unlike language proficiency certificates like IELTS or TOEFL, a Bachelor's degree in English Language retains its value over time. It provides in-depth knowledge of linguistics, history, culture, economics, translation, and education that can be applied to both work and personal life.
