B.A. IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission to the program applicants must fulfill the following requirements:

• Hold an appropriate higher school leaving certificate (e.g. Baccalaureate, “A” levels school leaving certificate, or equivalent qualification)
• Demonstrate an appropriate level (i.e. oral and written) of the English language (e.g. TOEFL with a minimum score of 550, TOEIC, IELTS 6.0 or above, etc.).
• Applicants with a two-year qualification in English (or related fields) from a recognized higher education institution will be considered for direct admission to the third and final year of the program.

Admission to the program is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the submitted application package followed by a personal interview undertaken with the applicant at CASS Europe (or at the facility of a partner HEI abroad). In conformity with the Lisbon Recognition Convention, there is provision in the B.A. program which allows for suitably qualified applicants with previous studies at another HEI for which there are no substantial differences in the competencies gained, to be admitted directly into an appropriate stage of the program. It means, for example, that a suitably qualified applicant who has successfully completed two years of a Bachelor’s program in English at another HEI for which there are no substantial differences in the competencies gained relative to the B.A. program can apply to be admitted directly into the third year of the program. Such applicants will be required to provide evidence of the studies previously completed and syllabi clearly indicating the content of the courses/modules previously completed.
