Welcome to the Department of English

Established in 1969, the Department of English, University of Calicut, has come to be recognized as a major academic centre for studies in English language and literature in Kerala.

While maintaining the best traditions of English teaching and research in India, the Department has kept itself up to date with the latest developments in literature, linguistics and associated disciplines and has introduced to the postgraduate curriculum new areas of studies in keeping with the changing requirements of the times. A major goal of the Department is a fundamental redefining of the role of English and literary studies in the Indian context, through collaborative and interdisciplinary course contents and pedagogy. . In addition to streamlining content areas and courses of an established nature, a number of new focus areas have been identified and courses introduced in them  to ensure contemporary academic relevance, interdisciplinarity, and better career prospects for the students.
