About the Department

The Department of English, one of the oldest departments of Union Christian College, has been functioning since 1921. The postgraduate course in English Language and Literature was started in 1968. The department has been a Research Centre since 1990, with many scholars working under the supervision of our approved faculty research guides. In the tradition of stalwarts like Prof. Malcolm Muggeridge and Prof. Aravamunda Iyyengar, pioneers of the department, and Prof. C. I. Benjamin, Prof. E. Narayanan Nambiar, and Prof. G. D. Gabriel who continued their legacy, we have a team of committed, accomplished teachers who look beyond pure academics…
