The BA in English encourages students to critically engage with English literatures from various global contexts including translations and postcolonial literatures and canonical English and world literature. Learning a selection of foreign, classical, and vernacular languages along with a grounding in translation and linguistics, this course radically redraws the contours of a traditional undergraduate programme in literatures.
Coupled with the minors and electives, philosophy to sociology, the English programme makes the study of literature holistic and multidimensional. Students develop tangible skills in translation and interpretation, professional and public writing, editing, and advertising.
Apart from a vibrant interdisciplinary curriculum, the students will organize film and literary festivals, help function film clubs, edit magazines, and produce podcasts. They will intern with media houses, corporates, and cultural bodies, gaining vital exposure to life outside academia.

Undergraduate students in their fourth year may choose to pursue either a capstone project or a research dissertation for upto 12 credits. The key differentiator between the two will be that in the capstone project, students will be expected to : Associate with an industry/organisation during the winter break, Identify a real-world problem in consultation with the host organisation, and Develop and implement solutions as part of the Capstone project.
Course of Independent study is an avenue where students may take-up a real-world problem and propose solutions to the same through rigourous research and/or experimentation. Those who opt for a CIS credit will be expected to ready a publication-worthy research finding through the guidance of a faculty supervisor. The School will publish their list of projects/topics annually and students may opt for one of these.
