About Department

Department Overview:

The Department of English and other Foreign Languages at Gurugram University is committed to promoting critical thinking, human values, globalisation, cultural diversity, and linguistic competence through its various programmes in the domains of literature and language. It nurtures an international, multilingual, and interdisciplinary approach toward academics.

Keeping in view the rapid pace of globalisation, communication has become the key to bringing the world closer. The Department of English organises conferences, seminars, guest lectures, and workshops to enhance academic engagement. We believe that since English is the global language of communication and a major requirement in the job market, all students should develop their oral and written communication skills in English to compete effectively in today’s highly competitive job market.

To meet global demands, the Department has designed foreign language courses in German, Japanese, and now Spanish, across various programmes such as B.Tech, MBA, and MA. These languages serve as valuable assets for students aspiring to join multinational companies or seeking opportunities abroad.

The Department aims to prepare students for roles as language teachers, trainers, and professionals in the corporate sectors related to German, Japanese, and Spanish industries. Beyond language acquisition, the programme encourages students to explore comparative literary studies and develop strong intercultural competence.

It is also envisioned that some Diploma holders will emerge as skilled translators, contributing meaningfully to fields like journalism, interpretation, education, and tourism.
