Open recruitment for
“American and Canadian Studies for Intercultural Relations and Diplomacy“
a new Americanist specialization launching this year at
the Department of American and Canadian Studies of the Institute of English Cultures and Literatures,
University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland

The central premise of the specialization is to provide versatile education to future Americanists and Canadianists, who, thoroughly prepared for professional work in areas in which they will combine fluent, near-native English with the knowledge of diplomatic processes, international law, intercultural and international relations, will also develop practical diplomatic skills and intercultural expertise facilitating efficient communications at all levels of intercultural relations. Graduates thus profiled will be prepared to work as specialists in units of public administration and members of diplomatic corps as middle-tier officers and public servants. They will also be valuable employees of territorial administration and local governments, or liaison managers in companies involved with international business. Such a graduate will be an asset to all organizations in need of experts who have attained a near-native command of English and developed diplomatic skills neccessary in the context of business talks, political negotiations and intercultural mediation.

To meet the criteria of eligibility, the Candidate would have a B.A. degree (not necessarily in English) and documented fluent command of English; Candidates will have an opportunity to even out the differences and to eliminate possible shortcomings stemming from insufficient exposure to spoken and written English in the course of their studies.
