G R A D U A T E D E G R E E P R O G R A M M E : E N G L I S H S T U D I E S advanced comprehension of language, its nature and various functions. The general frameworks of course-units have been developed from contemporary sources which encompass fundamental topics from specific disciplines and recent research insights. The teaching methods and techniques to be employed in the studies contribute to and encourage the development of the indispensable competencies of critical thinking and creativity. The programmes are modelled on the educational structures in Europe (ECTS system, study cycles, etc.). The study programmes designed on the basis of the above mentioned principles and including a large number of elective courses are already in place at many other universities abroad. Accordingly, owing to their necessarily specific qualities, the proposed programmes of various specialisations in English studies, are indirectly comparable to other graduate (Master) programmes which have been developed according to ECTS principles. 1.2. Previous experience in the implementation of equivalent or similar programmes The four-year undergraduate study programme of English Language and Literature, implemented since 2001/2002 at the former School of Humanities, now at the Faculty of Philosophy at Split University, already includes two courses of specialisation which are introduced in the final years of studies leading to a degree with or without teaching qualifications. Students’ keen interest to continue their studies in these specialised courses in English Language and Literature at Split University justifies socially, culturally and academically the establishment of the new graduate studies. 1.3. Student mobility scheme Student mobility schemes are implemented under special agreements between Split University and other Croatian and foreign universities. 1.4. Other elements 1 ECTS credit stands for 30 hours of the student workload. 1 contact hour stands for a period of 45 minutes teaching contact/cooperation between a staff member and a student or group of students. In the graduate degree programmes in English studies, contact hours per semester (except in the last semester) amount to one fourth of the total student workload. Potential partners to the graduate studies from non-higher education institutions are primary and secondary and foreign language schools in Split, Split-Dalmatian County, The Croatian Chamber of Commerce, and The Tourist Board of Split. 3
