It is well known that language is the vehicle to knowledge, culture and civilization. India received English as a part of its colonial legacy from British, which acquired the status of a quasi-official language acting as a bridge among the linguistically diverse states of the country. Today English is the acknowledged lingua franca of the world, thanks to globalization; it has become the medium of exchange of culture and science among different civilizations.
At VFSTR, the team of 19 English faculty members of Humanities Division is considered to be one of the most vibrant teams offering MA and Ph.D programmes, besides offering courses on Technical English and Business English for Engineering and MBA departments. Faculty of Humanities division also offer courses like Professional Ethics and provides rigorous training for International certification for Cambridge English Courses and GRE, TOEFL and IELTS.
We welcome aspiring students to join MA English and Ph.D programmes and we assure them of stepping out as confident and globally competitive professionals.
