Study English Language abroad

English is the most widely spoken second language in the world, and many universities around the world are providing English Language programmes to attract more students. These include a variety of short courses in addition to the regular graduate, post-graduate and doctorate programmes.

A bachelor’s degree in English language is typically 3-4 years, and costs in the US somewhere between USD 20,000-30,000. In the UK, for international students, the same degree would range between £ 15,000-20,000. A bachelor’s typically suffices for entry-level positions. However, for better prospects like seniority in teaching fields or writing careers, a master’s degree is generally preferred. This is normally a two-year programme that costs approximately USD 35,000-75,000 depending upon the university and duration of the program. Whereas, pursuing a master’s in the UK can cost you anywhere between £15,000 to 35,00 a year.

In the UK, being a self-funded PhD student can be an expensive undertaking, with an annual tuition bill of approximately £3,000 to 6,000 (about US$3,800-7,670) for domestic students and up to £18,000 ($23,000) for international students for the first three years. But for an in-depth understanding of the language, a doctorate degree becomes mandatory. It provides the opportunity to specialise in different dialects, and other specialisations like literature, media, history or art.
