About the Programme

The BA (English, Psychology, and Media Studies) Programme is a triple-specialisation programme that foregrounds the study of literature, psychology, and media studies in both global and Indian contexts. The course programme started in 2022 as a double major in English and Psychology and was later extended to be a triple major under SEP. This course is designed to provide students with a foundation in these three fields, preparing them for diverse professional and academic opportunities.

English
English courses, through a close study of texts and contexts, familiarise students with literary histories of the world and equip them with literary sensibilities and skills of interpretation. It will also focus on researching literary and cultural histories, society and human experience, and emerging genres of literature.

Psychology
Psychology courses provide a foundational understanding of psychological concepts, with an emphasis on their practical applications in clinical, educational, and industrial settings. By exploring various aspects of the field, students develop skills that enhance self-awareness, empathy, and social responsibility. These skills prepare them for roles in counselling, human resources, and other people-centric fields.

Media Studies
Media studies courses build foundational knowledge of media concepts, with a focus on practical application in journalism, screen production, and audience research. Through critical and comparative analysis of media texts, industries, and systems, students develop analytical, ethical, and collaborative production skills, preparing them for careers in journalism, media production, and related communication fields.

Together, these three specialisations provide a comprehensive education that blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills, ensuring that students graduate as versatile professionals capable of adapting to and excelling in various fields.
