B.A. (Hons.) in English

About the Programme

Literature in the English language is a whole world, full of craft and aesthetic and forms that tell us stories. These stories speak of the worlds in which we live: different places and experiences, and many perspectives. In this programme, we take you through an exploration of literature in the English language — written in English, translated into English, from different times, in different forms and via different media. Through this exploration of the written word and oral expression we hope you learn to love literature as a way of reflecting on our lives.

Studying English also helps to develop writing skills for your own communication, whether for creative pleasure or for your profession. In our Indian context, English is a language that not everybody has easy access to, even while it is a very important currency for different avenues of work. To ensure that English is not just for those who have the privilege to use it with ease, English language training is a very integral part of our courses. We train you in reading and writing in the English language so that you can explore and appreciate both literary and non-literary texts, whether theoretical, creative or journalistic. We make sure that we explore culturally diverse forms, including digital media technologies.
