Aims of the Programme:
TThe BA in English Programme aims to produce graduates with a strong foundation in English literature and language while equipping them with the applied, digital, and professional competencies required in today’s dynamic world. The programme encourages students to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage creatively with texts and contexts drawn from Bhutanese, Asian, and global traditions, with an emphasis on contemporary and accessible texts. It fosters intellectual depth alongside practical and career-oriented relevance by integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, practical IT applications, and experiential and interactive learning into the study of literature and language. It also aims to nurture ethical, reflective, socially aware, and culturally sensitive individuals who can contribute meaningfully to education, media, communication, and other professional and creative fields.
