Ph.D Languages and Literature at Jindal School of Languages and Literature, Sonipat Offline Course

The Jindal School of Languages and Literature (JSLL) is in the vanguard of the university's mission to be a premier institution for language, literature and cultural studies. The PhD programme in English Studies is designed to train scholars to work in advanced methodologies and to work in an innovative way while responding to developments in the broad area of English Studies and of adjacent fields such as linguistics, comparative literature, translation studies and cultural studies. Doctoral scholars in this programme will benefit from formal teaching, mentoring and supervision by several dozen research‑active JGU faculty – many of them internationally trained ‑ working in the aforementioned areas. The programme welcomes scholars, creative practitioners and in‑service educators who aspire to give their work a scholarly grounding. Part‑time engagement in the programme is facilitated by longer time periods allowed for course work and completion of a final research plan, but standards of achievement will be no less rigorous than those for full‑time scholars
