INTRODUCTION

Department of English Language & Literature was established in January 2014 when the university was known as Shikarpur Campus, SALU. Its launching in that year is only preceded by three departments, viz., Commerce, Business Administration and Computer Science.

The establishment of the department was the rise of an abundant opportunity for the English linguistics and literature aspirants from the Shikarpur region. This was, especially, a life line in the educational career for the regional students who couldn’t afford higher studies in English subject at other universities for economic constraints, less seats or distance hurdles. Hence such candidates, mainly females of the region, have this department of English language and literature qualitative, closer and cost effective.

The classes of the department are well furnished, spacious and have proper light and air ventilation. The competitive and committed faculty, truly educative ecology, state of the art facilities, video and audio learning, ever increasing treasure of books on English subject in the library contribute to the competitiveness of the degree programs.
