Details of the Programmes on the Campus

Department of English

B. A. English Language and Literature - Model 1

The study of language and literature has traditionally been central to Humanities. In addition to equipping students with the ability to appreciate literature, it trains them to be discerning readers. Accordingly, the Model 1 UG programme offered by the college imbibes not only the core tenets of a traditional literature course but is also attuned to negotiate the complexities raised by the information age, characterized by a wealth of information and a resultant poverty of attention. We imagine the graduates of this programme as discerning readers, tasteful connoisseurs of art and socially outstanding citizens. The graduates of BA English are expected to find employment in various fields involving the use of writing skills, education and training, marketing, administration, etc., apart from opportunities in higher education.

The programme consists of 13 Core Courses in Literature, 6 Common Courses-I (English), 4 Common Courses II (additional languages), 4 Complementary Courses (Sociology/ Psychology), 2 Complementary courses in Literary History,), 1 Core Course in Environment and Human Rights, 1 Open course and 1 Elective Course (out of 4) in the Core subject. In addition to this, the students are expected to prepare a research project in the final semester in order to acquire the required number of credits. For the complementary subject, the board has decided to adopt Sociology since the propensity of Literary Studies in recent years has been towards Critical Humanities. Under the electives in semester four the college intends to offer all four subjects, namely, Comparative Literature, Modern Malayalam Literature in Translation, Regional Literatures in Translation and Voices from the Margins. These courses will be delivered as guided sessions as well as online sessions. The ambit of the project in the fourth semester has been expanded to include creative writing projects.
