HOD's Message

Dr. Muntzar Mehdi

The Department of English (Undergraduate Studies) extends a warm welcome to aspiring scholars dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in English language, linguistics, and literature. Being one of the finest departments at NUML and among the best English departments nationwide, we take great pride in providing an undergraduate degree program that is an engaging amalgam of creativity, knowledge, and aptitude. The curriculum aims at developing students’ critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and intellectual curiosity while also enhancing their life skills. Our department is dedicated to providing students with a thorough understanding and respect of English literature in all of its configurations, in both Eastern and Western traditions.

Our program accustoms students to the study of languages with various topics of linguistics along with English literary studies. Assessments in the form of quizzes, assignments, projects, and presentations are used in conjunction with interactive teaching techniques and language-focused courses to improve students’ English language proficiency. In an effort to recognize, develop, and enhance our students’ creative abilities, we have formed a number of clubs and societies that host forums, talks, and presentations on a regular basis. These platforms present students with an ideal opportunity to articulate their thoughts, exhibit their abilities, and hone their skills. We put a lot of focus on having regular interactions with students to make sure they have the support and counseling they need to succeed academically and personally.

We would be thrilled to hear from you if you are passionate about English literature and language.
