Department of English

The Department of English at DAV University is committed to nurturing critical, creative, and empathetic thinkers through an inclusive and contemporary curriculum aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. We aim to empower young minds by encouraging literary inquiry, interdisciplinary engagement, and ethical reflection—essential for shaping a responsible and holistic society.

We offer a comprehensive range of academic programs:

  • B.A. English (Honours and Honours with Research – Four-Year Program)
  • M.A. English

In line with NEP 2020, the Department also contributes to the University’s multidisciplinary framework by offering several open elective and skill-based courses such as Professional Communication, Technical Communication, and Creative Writing. Additionally, through our academic collaboration with Cambridge University Press, we offer Cambridge English I and Cambridge English II based on the globally recognized Interchange Level 2 and 3 series. These are taught across multiple disciplines to build global language competencies.

Our pedagogy is grounded in Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and enriched through Activity-Based Learning (ABL) strategies such as discussions, presentations, project work, and creative assessments. Texts are carefully curated to engage students with both local and global concerns, fostering independent thought and confident expression.

The Department actively promotes interdisciplinary dialogue and research orientation at the postgraduate level. Our students benefit from a dedicated Language Lab, dynamic Literary Club, and frequent expert talks on contemporary socio-cultural issues.

With a team of highly qualified faculty and an evolving academic environment, the Department of English at DAV University provides a vibrant space for literary exploration and professional growth.
