B.A. English/ B.A. English (Hons./ By Research) is an undergraduate degree program that focuses on the study of literature and language. The program typically takes three to four years to complete and combines theoretical and practical approaches to the study of English.

The program typically includes coursework in research methods and literary theory, as well as a significant research project or thesis.

The program generally begins with an introduction to literary analysis, which covers topics such as critical theory, literary forms, and literary history. Students then move on to more specialized courses in areas such as poetry, drama, fiction, and creative writing.

Graduates of this course have a wide range of career options, including roles in publishing, writing, editing, education, media, and advertising. They may work as writers, editors, teachers, journalists, public relations specialists, or advertising executives, among other roles. Additionally, a BA English degree can serve as a foundation for further education in graduate programs such as English, creative writing, journalism, or law.
