English Department

The English Language and Literature Department - in its current configuration - was set up in 1995, when the restructuring of the Faculty of Letters took place. However, Degrees in English go back to the 1960's at Oradea Pedagogical Institute, as the University of Oradea was called at that time.

Both at B.A. Degree levels and M.A. Degree levels there is a constant preoccupation to make curricular areas cohere with the principles of the Bologna Declaration; this is apparent in the modular structure of the courses, in the broadening of the offer of optional courses, in ensuring adequate expertise according to qualifications.

There are several strands distinguishable in the staff's teaching and research activities; firstly regarding teaching activities, that aim at a good student-teacher collaboration, secondly, at providing a nurturing educational milieu for our undergraduate and post-graduate students.

Equally saliently, the staff's commitment to research is regarded as being of paramount importance. This commitment to research gathers the teaching staff around joint research endeavours stemming from collective research themes in the fields of cultural studies, literature and literary criticism, or linguistics. Research is then turned-to-account through the delivery of papers at national and international conferences and the subsequent publication of papers in journals and conference proceedings. This very participation in national and international conferences, seminars or workshops positions our Department's staff on a high level of national and international academic visibility, and thus makes our staff members valuable assets to this institution.

Our students have the opportunity to study abroad due to academic collaborations such as the Erasmus Programme partnerships we have with universities in France, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Scotland, Sweden etc (see International Relations). These collaborations also provide the teaching staff with the opportunity to access mobility grants and thus teach abroad.

It is also worth mentioning that starting with 1996 until 2000, in collaboration with the British Council in Romania, we undertook the project of cultural rapprochement between the two countries by inviting Romanian and British writers, along with academics, journalists, translators, Romanian students, to the Romanian-British colloquium of contemporary literature 'British-Romanian Contemporary Writing Seminar' held in Baile Felix.

Among the cultural projects initiated by the department of English Language and Literature we mention The Reading Club held for pupils in primary schools in Oradea and the Students' Drama Club more....

In recent years, apart from the regular yearly Conference of our Department - Seminars in Anglophone Studies, - we have also initiated and held a Biennial Conference exclusively organized by our Department ('Cultural Texts and Contexts in the English Speaking World') that boasts both national and international participation in each of its editions and that has gained a good reputation amongst academics in the field of British and American Studies in Romania and abroad.
