“The digital approach to literature and language opens up a plethora of possibilities for students.”

Literature and language shape society in various ways by exploring what it is to be human. It is also the most effective way to understand the culture. Most of the biggest questions could be answered by drawing on literature, language, culture and technology. The Department of Languages provides an interdisciplinary platform to its students where they can learn, share, and apply cutting-edge methods to integrate and interrogate traditional literature and contemporary society. The department offers a Master of Arts in English with Digital Humanities. The programme focuses on developing an advanced understanding of digital methodologies relevant to research, culture and information sectors. Its unique curriculum helps the students deepen their understanding of cultural practices in the digital age. 
With its progressive and innovative approach towards the literary field, students will be well-equipped to navigate the digital literary landscape. The digital approach to literature and language opens up a plethora of possibilities for students. In addition, projects, internships, and dissertations provide them with experiential learning opportunities. Our faculty are involved in interdisciplinary research and open to collaborations at national and international levels. Besides having expertise in gender studies, masculinity studies, popular culture, English Language Teaching, Natural Language Processing, communication studies, subaltern studies, city studies etc., they are also published poets, novelists, translators, and writers.
