Department of English / BA English Psychology
The BA English–Psychology Double Major is an interdisciplinary programme that brings together key ideas from language, literature, cultural studies, and behavioural sciences. English Studies develops core language abilities while inculcating creativity, critical thinking, and cultural literacy through diverse textual and interpretative practices, while the Psychology component offers a solid foundation for careers or advanced study in Clinical Psychology, Counselling, Industrial Psychology, and Human Resource Management.
