Research and Study Conferences
In the English Language and Literature major, along with the publication of "Journal of English Language and Literature", the department holds an annual "Theme and Method" event, where first-year doctoral students present their master's thesis topics and ideas. Master's thesis presentations will take place in early March. Graduate students are actively engaged in research, presenting papers and making oral presentations at academic conferences. We also invite researchers from outside the university to give lectures. The latest information is also posted on our blog.
