BS four-year Programme
The BS four-year programme caters for students holding an intermediate or equivalent degree prefereably with English as an elective subject. The programme is divided into eight semesters spanning four years. A variety of discourses are employed at this level to offer students critical insight into the contemporary literature around the world. The aim is to make them understand the reading and teaching of literatures in English. The first and second year offer students a foundation in literature and linguistics along with a range of general compulsory subjects. The third and fourth year of the programme offer specializations in either literature or linguistics. The specialization courses offer advanced study in English literature and linguistics. During the course of their study at the Institute the students conduct research and make multimedia presentations which build both subject-related and presentation skills. They are encouraged to work independently and in groups to enhance self-confidence and interpersonal, and organizational skills. The students have the opportunity to interact with local and international figures in seminars and workshops organized on a variety of subjects.
