GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAMME:

Study programme:
University undergraduate study programme in English Language and Literature (double major)
University graduate study programme in English Studies
General information on the study programme:
The university undergraduate study programme in English Language and Literature (double major) combines fundamental knowledge of linguistics and literature in English with the development of advanced language and communication skills. During their studies, students acquire the ability to critically analyse and interpret various texts and cultural content in English, while also developing skills for well-argued oral and written expression. Upon graduation, bachelors are qualified for positions in linguistic mediation within the business sector, public administration, culture, and tourism, as well as for work in the media, publishing, and other fields that require an excellent command of the English language and highly developed communication competence.
This study programme can be combined with any other double-major programme at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split. The programme is comparable to similar English language and literature studies in the Republic of Croatia and European Union countries, enabling student mobility and the continuation of education at other universities both at home and abroad.
The university graduate study programme in English Studies educates humanities professionals with advanced competencies in the English language, literature, and applied linguistics. The programme enables students to acquire specialized knowledge through three distinct tracks:
- Teaching Track (double-major): prepares graduates for work in primary and secondary schools, as well as in foreign language schools;
- Translation Track (double-major): qualifies graduates for all forms of oral and written translation and interpreting;
- Research Track (single-major): prepares graduates for doctoral studies and scientific research in institutions dedicated to language and literary studies.

On May 11, 2026, as part of the "Svibanjska druženja" program at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split, a practical workshop for students titled "AI-Assisted Abstract Writing" was held. The workshop was designed and led by senior lecturers from the Department of English Language and Literature, Dr. Marija Knežević and Mara Ruža Blažević. The workshop was conceived in response to the recognized need to improve the quality of abstracts in English in undergraduate and graduate theses across various study programs. Acknowledging the increasingly significant role of artificial intelligence in modern academic and professional environments, the workshop authors developed a series of activities aimed at developing academic writing skills with responsible and thoughtful use of generative AI tools. Although the workshop was primarily intended for final-year undergraduate and graduate students preparing their theses, strong interest led to the participation of students from other years as well. During the two-hour session, participants engaged in practical, expert-led activities, analyzing abstracts of scientific papers in English with the goal of improving their content and language. Special attention was devoted to identifying the key structural elements of an abstract, employing an appropriate academic style, and effectively summarizing scientific content. As part of the workshop, students also explored the application of various generative AI tools in the abstract-writing process, with an emphasis on their ethical, responsible, and critical use. In addition, participants actively contributed by sharing their own experiences with summarizing scientific texts and using AI in academic contexts. In conclusion, both participants and workshop leaders emphasized that AI tools have become an indispensable part of contemporary academic practice. The importance of maintaining academic integrity, critical thinking, and the irreplaceable role of human contribution in scientific and scholarly writing was strongly highlighted.
