The
Post-Graduate Department of English in the present Andhra University
Campus, Kakinada was established in December 1977. The Department since then has
taken long strides and progressed steadily to carve out a special place of pride
as a seat of higher learning in English language and literature. The strength of
the Department is in its committed and dedicated faculty, which conscientiously
involves itself in imparting proper training to the students and making quality
contribution to research studies.
The
Department switched over to semester-system in the academic year 2000 - 2001 by
updating the syllabus at M.A. level. The Department is equipped with a
well-furnished language lab to cater to the communication skills of the
department and the campus as well. The alumni of this Department are well placed
in the society. The thrust areas are on literary theory, American
literature, Indian writing in English, New Literature and modern European
Literature. Besides this the faculty is exploring new pastures like
translation studies, gender studies, communicative skills and interdisciplinary
studies like literature and society, literature and psychology etc.
