British Culture and Civilization

A special course held in English for the 2nd year students

during the 4th semester.

No. of credits: 4

- Course code: LLJ2214

We will study together for 2 hours each

week the historical evolution, the
current state and functions of several
British institutions: the Monarchy, the
Westminster Parliament, the
Government, the Media.

On several occasions we will watch

shorter or longer films about famous
British contemporary and historical
personalities or tourist attractions (at
your choice!).

If you want to find out how the Brits

spend their free time, what do they
really think of pubs, the royals and the
weather or what holidays do they
celebrate, for whom do they usually
vote, then you should join our group.

Hopefully this course will add to your

knowledge of Great Britain, its people,
history and culture and maybe
determine you to continue your studies
there, work in or visit this fascinating
country.

You will get a lot of info about their

educational system (and finally you will
know which universities are the best
and why), about their legal system,
about the different ethnic groups that
form the complex and vibrant
contemporary British society, about the
relationships between the UK and the
USA or the EU (European Union).
