BA English Hons at Christ University, Bannerghatta Road Campus, Bengaluru Offline Course

The BA (English/ English Honours/ English Honours with Research) is a three/ four- year rigorous programme that provides an avenue for learners to acquire knowledge and skill sets in the areas of Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, and Linguistics. Over the course of three/four years, the programme enables holistic development among the learners by exposing them to the latest discourses in the field. The three-year programme is structured in such a way that it provides foundational knowledge of various theories, methodologies, and skills that are intrinsic to the discipline through innovative pedagogical and andragogical practices. The fourth year of the English Honors programme is designed to enable the learners to gain exposure to the various professional fields that align with the discipline through industry exposure and related activities. The fourth year of the English Honours with Research programme offers them the opportunity to be involved in capstone projects which enables the learners to gain first-hand exposure to various field-based research and studies through community engagements and our NGO partners.

The programme is highly learner- centric. Distinct from a traditional approach, the programme offers courses that are highly inter-disciplinary and multidisciplinary in nature providing exposure to the learners in the areas of Visual Culture and Film Studies, Urban Studies, Digital Humanities, Critical Food Studies, Folklore Studies, Translation Studies, Sociolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, Semiotics, Multilingualism, Content Designing and Development, Editing and Publishing, Critical Pedagogic Studies, Gender and Intersection Studies, along with the conventional English Literature courses. The program is very dynamic in nature as it enables the learners to grow beyond academics and hone their skill sets by participating in and organizing various conferences, seminars, and fests and making them professionally ready. The programme provides value-added courses that focus on managing the mental and emotional well-being of the learners to successfully manoeuvre the challenges according to the times.
