The Department of English and Humanities is the liberal arts core of the university. The department fosters the imaginative, observational, analytical and communicative skills of its students through its three major streams: literature, applied linguistics & ELT, and media and cultural studies.
The department also offers a minor programme in history, which helps the students to contextualize their learning. The literature concentration introduces students to a wide variety of English writing from different historical periods and regions and aims to inculcate a strong analytical orientation, encouraging students to contextualize literary works in relation to their historical and cultural realities.
A critical and analytical focus is encouraged through interactions with theoretical materials and writing exercises.
