The primary goal of the master's program is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the principal domains, prevailing trends, theories, and paradigms of modern philology. This program aims to equip students with the requisite theoretical and methodological frameworks that underpin modern philological discourse. This, in turn, enables students to grasp the polyparadigmatic and interdisciplinary nature of contemporary philological thought, thereby fostering an awareness of the exploratory potential and practical applicability of theoretical constructs. Moreover, the program endeavors to cultivate the competence to effectively apply theoretical knowledge into practical contexts.

The attainment of this overarching goal is realized through the synthesis of both theoretical and practical facets, seamlessly integrated into the curriculum. This integration significantly augments the competencies of program graduates, thereby enhancing their prospects in both local and international labor markets.

Recognizing the complexity of modern English philology, coupled with the demands of the modern labor market, the program places a distinct emphasis on training English-language communicators who possess ethical competence, theoretical acumen, and practical proficiencies commensurate with the multifaceted realm of philology.

In response to these aforementioned imperatives, the master's program endeavors to train specialists capable of making substantial contributions to the processes of intercultural dialogue and Georgia's integration with English-speaking nations.
