Autorski program studiów integruje teoretyczne i praktyczne przygotowanie w zakresie języka angielskiego w szeroko pojętej przestrzeni biznesowej na poziomie C1+ z takimi kluczowymi kompetencjami jak inicjatywność, umiejętności pracy w zespole, innowacyjność, samodzielność planowania, myślenie krytyczne oraz tzw. labour agility. Przedmioty z zakresu nauk społecznych wspomagające kształcenie przybliżają absolwentowi zjawiska synergii, zrównoważonego rozwoju i integracji.

Chcąc podkreślić dostosowanie kierunku Specialized English for Business do warunków prowadzenia biznesu na współczesnym rynku pracy, w programie studiów uwzględniono praktyki odbywające się na stanowiskach zapewniających wykorzystanie zaawansowanego i specjalistycznego języka angielskiego. Internacjonalizację na kierunku zapewni kształcenie w zakresie dodatkowego biznesowego języka obcego na poziomie B2+: niemieckiego, francuskiego, hiszpańskiego lub chińskiego – do wyboru przez studentów. Innowacyjny dobór treści programowych sprzyja konkurencyjności w miejscu pracy o charakterze międzynarodowym: przedsiębiorstwach, organizacjach i instytucjach.

Perspektywy zawodowe

Wśród wykonywanych potencjalnych stanowisk, na jakie rekrutować może absolwent kierunku, wymienić można przykładowo: specjalista z językiem angielskim w Dziale Zobowiązań – Centrum Usług Wspólnych, pracownik administracyjno-biurowy z językiem obcym, specjalista ds. obsługi klienta, asystent dyrektora, pracownik / koordynator działu współpracy z zagranicą, specjalista ds. obsługi klientów kluczowych (np. w korporacjach finansowych, przedsiębiorstwach logistycznych itp.). Zaznaczyć należy, iż nazwy zawodów lub stanowisk pracy podlegają w obecnych czasach znacznym i częstym zmianom wynikającym z dynamicznie rozwijającego się rynku pracy, dlatego przy tak szeroko zakrojonym spektrum możliwości zatrudnienia opis sylwetki absolwenta celowo wskazuje raczej na sektory gospodarki i charakter pracy, a nie na konkretny zawód. Tym bardziej że nazwa tego samego stanowiska pracy jest często różnie formułowana, np. keynote manager / specjalista ds. klientów kluczowych / doradca klienta kluczowego / koordynator ds. klientów kluczowych. Program studiów zakłada, iż absolwent uzyska wiedzę z zakresu specjalistycznego języka biznesu, a także podstaw aktywności biznesowej w dobie zmieniających się realiów globalizacji, pozwalających na podjęcie pracy w ww. sektorach gospodarki i doskonalenie umiejętności w środowisku zawodowym.

Studia stanowią optymalną ofertę dla studenta polskiego i zagranicznego pragnącego zdobyć pogłębioną̨ wiedzę, kompetencje i umiejętności z zakresu języka angielskiego w biznesie, z uwzględnieniem praktycznego zastosowania wybranych wątków z obszaru nauk humanistycznych i społecznych, odpowiadające wymogom współczesnego rynku pracy w Polsce i w innych krajach. Program studiów umożliwia studentowi sprostanie wyzwaniom w zmieniającym się świecie, przygotowując go w sposób praktyczny i skontekstualizowany do pracy zawodowej w międzynarodowym środowisku.
