What you'll study

Coursework spans classical, canonical and contemporary texts alongside applied modules. Year 1 focuses on foundations: the history of English literature, British literature, Indian literature (including works in English and translations), and an introduction to literary forms and genres. Electives at this stage include foreign languages and media & communication skills. Year 2 advances to areas such as American literature, postcolonial literature, creative writing and literary criticism and theory; students may choose electives like film studies, popular literature and partition literature. A mandatory summer internship with publishers, media agencies or educational institutions provides workplace exposure. Year 3 centres on specialization and research with topics including contemporary literary theories, cultural and media studies, gender and literature, and translation studies, culminating in a major research project under faculty supervision.
