The seven BA Honours programmes offer students a unique liberal arts education that acquaints them with diverse approaches to knowledge. The undergraduate programmes at AUD offer students a wide choice of courses. The School teaches students to think critically and creatively, to analyse and reason, to communicate effectively and to draw evidence-based conclusions. It aims to achieve a balance between the range and depth of the subjects studied. The unique aspect of undergraduate programmes at AUD is that there are common modules for foundational skills comprising language, writing skills, communication skills, analytical reasoning, and a core module in social sciences. A typical BA Programme has three types of courses: 1. Foundation Courses (24 Credits) 2. Discipline-based/Interdisciplinary Elective Courses (56 to 64 credits) 3. Special Interest Courses. BA (HONS) WITH MAJOR IN ENGLISH The BA with Major in English introduces students to all aspects of the study of literature. Along with literature written in English, the course has a strong component of translations into English of Indian and all other significant literatures across the world. The study of literature is considered as the entry point for students to critically examine the world. The programme hopes to impart to students the broadest possible understanding of literature as a cultural and linguistic practice and arm them with tools to dismantle accepted and forced hierarchies in literary and cultural practices. The programme consists of a host of Elective courses from which students are required to choose a fixed number each semester. STRUCTURE The programme is delivered through a total number of 96 credits over six semesters. Students have a range of Electives to choose from. They may also transfer from one Major to another on fulfilment of certain specified criteria. The courses comprise tutorial, field trips, workshops, seminars etc. ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION AUD follows a system of continuous assessment and evaluation to facilitate and promote learning with understanding.
