Aims of the Programme:
The primary aim of the Bachelor of Arts in English and Dzongkha (BA English and Dzongkha) programme is to provide students with a strong foundational knowledge and advanced proficiency in both English and Dzongkha. By fostering fluency and literacy in these two languages, the programme will enable students to actively engage in contemporary academic discourse, research, and critical inquiry in both linguistic contexts. Through a structured and comprehensive curriculum, students will develop essential cognitive skills, including analytical reasoning, critical thinking, and the ability to interpret and evaluate diverse perspectives across cultures and disciplines
In addition to promoting academic excellence, the programme is designed to prepare graduates for a wide range of professional fields, including but not limited to education, media and communication, hospitality and tourism, journalism, public service, and private sector employment. The bilingual nature of the programme equips students with transferable skills such as effective communication, problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability—skills that are highly valued in today’s dynamic and competitive job market.
Moreover, the programme is committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also ethical, responsible, and socially conscious. Graduates are expected to contribute meaningfully and competently in their chosen careers and to play constructive roles in society, whether in local, national, or global contexts.
