In English Literature program, students will read a wide variety of texts from medieval period to the present day. They will encounter new ways of looking at literature by not only studying texts on campus but also going on various field trips.

Students also develop a critical appreciation of the ways in which knowledge of other disciplines and their relationships to English literature can contribute to a deeper understanding of literary texts.

The Politics program will allow students to explore key ideas, institutions and politics in an international, national and local context.
