Curriculum Overview

The MA syllabus builds gradually: early semesters cover core concepts, while later semesters concentrate on General-specific application. Core and elective areas include Language & Literature, Social Sciences Core, History & Culture, Research Methodology, covered through a mix of video lectures, printed/digital study material, hands-on assignments and weekend contact sessions. Learners submit assignments and appear for term-end examinations that test both conceptual understanding and applied problem-solving. Postgraduate learners additionally work on applied projects and case studies that connect theory to workplace decision-making.

Learning Outcomes

  • Graduates of the MA programme are expected to: translate General theory into workplace practice
  • demonstrate capability in academic writing and critical thinking
  • apply research methodology and professional communication to real tasks and projects
  • and document or present their work to a professional standard. At this postgraduate level, learners are also expected to apply these skills with greater independence and analytical depth.
