Undergraduate Program


One Honors Program :

  • BA (Hons) in English ( 4 years )

Program Objectives

The Department of English offers Bachelor of Arts in English to instill among students the essence of intellectual exercises that the western creative writers have made over the centuries in the form of literature and thereby, to prepare them as efficient professionals to work at various levels of jobs at both national and international levels. Students will engage in rigorous academic writing informed by critical thinking. Students’ writing will demonstrate sharp focus, substantial content, sophisticated organization, precise style, and evident control of conventions. Furthermore, they will exhibit these traits over a variety of types of writing for a variety of types of audiences. Student teachers will develop good working relations with their co-op teachers, their students, and other teachers in their university. This means that they must be judged as well prepared in the content of their discipline, they must exhibit good work habits, and they must exhibit respect for and understanding of diversity. Our other objectives are- accurately and precisely communicate– both in speaking and writing – in a variety of contexts and genres, demonstrate a thorough command of English and its linguistic structures, recognize and comprehend different varieties of English, conduct original research and be prepared to pursue advanced studies in English, Public Relations, or Communication fields.

The Course Contents

The course contents cover the major British authors and their significant works along with major areas related to literary criticism, critical theory, applied linguistics and language teaching. Besides, classical literature and literature from America and the continent have been included in the syllabus. Further courses from other disciplines – Bangla, Computer Science, History of Europe, Business communication, Anthropology, Eastern and western Philosophy and Sociolinguistics – have been integrated into the program.

The Program is spread over 04 (four) academic years and 12 (twelve) semesters and consists of 125 (one hundred and twenty five) credits in total. Towards the end of the program – in the fourth year – a student will have to conduct research under the guidance of a teacher and write a dissertation.

Eligibility

The university provides clear and transparent admission information to the prospective students so that they can make informed choices prior to submitting an application. All applicants, regardless of the programme applied for, must have a good academic record and must have achieved minimum academic qualifications required for admission in the subject. They should also have a clear commitment and motivation for further study and a strong interest in their chosen subjects. To enter an undergraduate program in ASAUB, the applicant must satisfy:

  • The university’s general minimum requirements and

  • The individual program requirements.

ASAUB admits students with the potential for pursuing higher education. It welcomes applications from the students regardless of their gender, religion, age, race, ethnical origin, social background, marital or parental status and disability. It is also committed to the principles of widening participation and encouraging applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds. It may be noted that admission in English Department is very competitive and fulfilling the minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. ASAUB generally follows a policy of limiting the number of seats in a program which means the candidate must qualify in the admission test.

Grading system

The ASAUB follows the following letter grades and grade point system introduced by the UGC as a uniform grading system for public and private universities in Bangladesh. The grade point average (GPA) is computed in the following manner:

A student may earn any of the five letter grades on the basis of his/her performance in each course. The letter grades A, B, C and D are considered passing grades and also acceptable to continuing of grades. Grade F is the failing grade.

The evaluation system

The evaluation will be based on 1) midterm examinations, 2) classroom evaluations, 3) final examination.

Continuous assessment (class test/quizzes, presentation, term paper/assignments, viva, class attendance etc.) will cover 30 percent of the total marks, and the remaining 70 percent is reserved for the midterm examinations (30 percent) and the final examinations (40 percent).
