The Masters programme in English with Communication Studies, initiated in 2008 aspires to sustain and revive an academic interest in literary and cultural theories. The courses offered are as contemporarily relevant as possible, even eclectic. A conscious effort is made to ensure that theories are grounded in textual readings, wherever possible. Testing and evaluation patterns aim at fostering a culture of research rather than an exam driven system, which will enhance student reading and creativity. To cater to the practical demands, ELT, Media and Communication courses and the internship component are skill based and endeavour to make the programme application oriented. In keeping with the increasingly diversified and competitive world, the programme is graded across the four semesters from foundational courses in the first year to specialization courses in the second year.
Based on the foundational courses offered in the first year, four specializations are offered in the second year – Literary Studies, Language Studies, Audio- Visual Studies and Cultural Studies. Students are expected to choose any two specializations out of the four offered. The four specializations are designed based on the emerging academic and professional changes and developments across the world. The programme offers one value added course per semester at the Postgraduate level for the first three semesters alone. Value added courses provide students an opportunity to develop discipline specific and inter-disciplinary skills. These courses will give the adequate training to the students to develop their own interests and aptitudes.The objective is to help them enhance and gain a nuanced understanding of their curriculum.
