The programme of study in English will help you explore the history and modes of literature and language across time, dating from Ancient Greece to our contemporary life. During the course you will become knowledgeable of different writing styles and will learn about the complex theories and critical approaches towards literature. By studying about canonical and non-canonical writers, both British and non-British, we will help you broaden your literary and linguistic horizon as you come to a firmer understanding of how literature captures the politics, tribulations, arts and culture of the world by defamiliarizing and reconstructing it on page. You will also be encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.

The programme of study in French at an undergraduate level will give you an academic lens of the history, culture, language and literature of France. During the course we will instil within you a deep appreciation towards the language in both a linguistic and Literary perspective, as we will help you refine and hone your spoken, auditory and reading prowess in the language. By understanding the influence that the language and nation has had on an international level through the eyes of authors, poets, and countries, you will be more au courante with the history that the contemporary country holds onto and upholds. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diversified learning journey.
