Heh, the lady from employment bureau apparently doesn't know much about the study options for English, then, because it isn't possible to study English Literature in Finland. I know that the name English Philology can be misleading; an American academic thought I was studying just the language when I told I was studying English Philology. However, it's just a fancy way of saying English as a Foreign Language.

The studies consist of linguistic, literature, translation, pronunciation and cultural studies, and probably a few other fields that I'm forgetting. You need a relatively high level of English to get in, so I think that a native speaker like you wouldn't get too frustrated. I have a Finnish-American friend who grew up in the US and who studies English Philology with the aim of becoming a teacher. I haven't heard him complain about the level of the courses. Also, a former teacher of mine from the University of Oulu said that when students from certain other European countries come there as exchange students, their English often isn't advanced enough for our courses. (Dear gods, this begins to sound like a sales pitch. That's not my intention, I swear. ^_^ )

There is another option for English students apart from English Philology, and that is English Translation.
