English Linguistics Pr.(English)

One of the first departments of Mersin University, the department of English Linguistics first started education under the name of English Language and Literature. When it was first established under the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the department, like the others of the same name in different universities, carried out a program based on literature and cultural studies. However, due to the rapid development and change in the academic staff, starting from the 1999-2000 academic year, implemented a Linguistics program in 100% English. After the closure of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences following the decree published in the Legal Gazette on July 26th, 2022, the department has continued education within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences since 2022 and the name of the department has been changed to the Department of English Linguistics in accordance with the name of the programme since 2024.

Upon successful completion of the undergraduate program, graduates will be conferred with a bachelor’s degree in English Linguistics. Admission to the undergraduate program requires candidates to hold a high school diploma or its equivalent, as well as attain a sufficient score in the language section of the University Student Selection Examination for the respective academic year.
