The department of Literature studies focus on the research and study of literature. It is one of our foremost aims to provide students with a rich, systematic, and up to date understanding of the various fields of Malayalam language and literature and to offer a comprehensive curriculum reflecting the status of Literary studies. We consider research and teaching to be interdependent and mutually enhancing academic practices. Our classrooms are where new scholarly perspectives or assumptions are tried and tested. Lectures, Seminars and workshops are not simply didactic, but designed to engage fundamental theoretical questions and to tackle a range of methodological issues. The subjects of study are principles of literary criticism, grammar, Sanskrit-Tamil- Arabi-Malayalam literature in primary level , research methodology, translation literature, etc. A research Dissertation should be submitted in the last semester. The history of Malayalam literature should be studied from the initial stage. There is also an opportunity to study script writing, film studies, non-fiction prose literature, And computer Malayalam- publishing art. The extensive curriculum includes in-depth study of the works of selected authors, and essay writing. The syllabus of this course is similar to the syllabus of MA courses in other universities.The School of Literature has also started a four-year course at the graduate level from this year 2024.
