"I meet people who claim that studying literature, linguistics or philosophy is a waste of time because it doesn’t prepare you for a specific job. The exact opposite is true, I believe. We study to broaden our horizons, to look at the world from a different perspective, and thus become educated individuals who can bring benefits to the society."

"The Department of English and American Studies surprised me pleasantly with its professionalism, friendliness, modern teaching methods and, last but not least, the equal approach towards the students. In practice-oriented courses, it was wonderful to have lectures given by genuine experts in the field. In theoretical courses, especially literature and culture, you can see the enormous interest that the lecturer has in the subject matter. There is also enough space for discussion with the students, who realise that their opinions are valued.
Studying at the Department of English and American Studies made me interested in translation. In summer 2021, I started an internship at the global translation agency RWA where I currently work as a freelancer. Due to my interest in translation, I was allowed to contribute to the translation of an essay about Václav Havel by Dr. Kleprlík. The essay was printed in the literary magazine Host in January 2022, making it my first published translation."

"English Studies brought many opportunities into my life that I would never have had without it, whether it was the challenges of teaching at the beginning of my Bachelor’s studies or business challenges towards the end. Thanks to my studies at the University of Pardubice, I started teaching English, met many great friends and colleagues, and made many contacts in the professional sphere. In the future, I will not only carry with me active knowledge of two languages, but also plenitude of experience from various fields related to my studies, and beautiful memories."
