English Tribhuvan University

Overview

The students have to study the core courses, which are mandatory and have select elective courses in order to fulfill the requirements for the degree.

While retaining the fundamental philosophy of humanities education such as the cultivation of humanistic values and critical thinking, the English programme at Tribhuvan University aims at developing students’ creative, critical, and communicative skills that they need in their academic and professional life. 

Focus on writing, intensive study of literary genres, emphasis on interpretive and cultural theories, and the incorporation of interdisciplinary and comparative study are some of the underlying features of the programme.
