BA English — Bachelor of Arts in English

Bachelor of Arts in English — literature, language and communication, affiliated to the University of Calicut.

Undergraduate programme

Read widely. Write precisely. Speak clearly.

BA English studies literature and language together: how writers build meaning, how grammar shapes it, and how the reader responds. It suits students who want careers in writing, teaching, media or further literary study.

  • Literature with method

    Texts are read closely and placed in context, with written work argued from evidence rather than opinion.

  • Language and grammar

    English grammar, phonetics and language skills that improve both writing and pronunciation.

  • Communication practice

    Presentations, group discussions and writing workshops in the communication lab.
