English and Literary Studies

Welcome To English and Literary Studies

The Department of English was established in 1976 under the Faculty of Arts and Education. Later Arts and Education became independent faculties and Department of English remained under the Faculty of Arts. Initially, only B.A English literature was offered. However, in order to help meet the critical shortage of teachers of English Language, especially at the post-primary level, the Department decided to introduce the B.A English Language program. The University senate subsequently approved the proposal in 1985 and the first graduates of B.A English Language were produced in the 1989/1990 Academic Session.
