The bachelor programme English language and culture consists of four main subjects: Philology, Literature, Linguistics and English Language (or Language Acquisition). The duration of the BA programme is three years and equals 180 EC. Those 180 EC are divided as follows: 140 EC for the main subject, 30 EC counts towards the minor and the remaining 10 EC for two general subjects called the Core Curriculum (Philosophy of Science and Introduction to Linguistics).

In the first year of the programme (the propedeuse) there are no optional courses. In the second year most of the programme is obligatory, although students can specialise in a certain field of Literature and Philology. The core curriculum courses are also to be completed in this year. In the third year, Language Acquisition 5 and 6 are obligatory; in addition students choose their specialisation. The bachelor thesis is written in the second semester of the third year. Additionally, students are able to choose a minor or can e.g. take an internship.
