The University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS) is the highest ranked private higher education institution offering programs in the field of humanities. The Institute of English Studies provides the very best education in British and American cultures as well as in theoretical and applied linguistics, organized as to allow students to develop practical English language skills towards proficiency. The teaching staff are highly qualified Polish and international academics and other professionals. 

Within the Master's Program, we offer the following specializations: Teaching English as a Foreign Language, Communication in Business, and Translation Studies. Students systematically work on their English proficiency and build competence related to the English speaking world. Upon writing their final thesis, on a topic that allows not only intellectual but also personal development, they graduate with a Master’s degree. The specialization Communication in Business has been designed to recognize the significance of good communication skills, ranked among the most desired skills  and prized qualities in job applicants.

Students following this specialization increase their chances to become effective communicators on diverse levels of communication within organizations, but also in personal or cross-cultural communication. In TEFL specialization we offer an array of courses in teaching methods, psycholinguistics and pedagogy. The goal is to provide students with theoretical background and practical skills so they can enter the classroom with confidence.  Translation specialization is designed for Polish students, but can also be tailored to the needs of non-Polish students.
