About the Programme
The Master of Arts in English Literature at Don Bosco Arts and Science College is designed to nurture intellectual growth, advanced language proficiency, and critical thinking skills. The programme offers students a comprehensive understanding of literary texts, theories, and emerging interdisciplinary perspectives, while strengthening their writing, communication, and analytical abilities.
Established in 2012, the programme offers an academically enriching environment with an intake of 15 students. The Department of English follows a well-structured curriculum and syllabus that reflect contemporary developments in language and literary studies. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary learning and research, enabling students to engage with cultural, aesthetic, historical, geographical, and theoretical dimensions of literature.
The two-year MA programme spans four semesters and offers diverse courses in literary studies, linguistic studies, cultural studies, media studies, global studies, and the new humanities. These courses encourage critical inquiry, creativity, and research-oriented learning, helping students develop a holistic understanding of literature and society.
Along with core and elective papers, students can pursue value-added and skill enhancement courses that broaden their academic and professional competencies. A distinctive feature of the programme is the opportunity for students to specialize in an area of interest and undertake in-depth research, culminating in dissertation work and academic publications. Through the study of literature and human experiences, the programme fosters cultural awareness, empathy, and social responsibility.
