Department Overview:
One of the first departments to be founded in Christ University, the Department of Psychology has grown in leaps and bounds with innovations in curriculum, pedagogy and ground-breaking initiatives. The Department runs a range of programmes that include Certificate courses, Undergraduate programmes, Post Graduate programmes with three specializations and Research degrees in psychology (M.Phil. and PhD). Through these programmes, we encourage students to consider careers and life missions that integrate psychological understanding to life. Our programmes integrate scholarship with professional practice and we offer courses that are cutting edge in the field of psychology. Students who complete programmes in Psychology from the University demonstrate high degrees of self-awareness are service-oriented and are encouraged to embrace humane values in their vocation.
Mission Statement:
The Vision of the Department of Psychology is to promote high academic standards and scholarship in psychology, by creating an optimal and enriching learning environment, fostering ongoing professional and personal development and contributing effectively to societal needs.
Introduction to Program:
BA Psychology, Sociology, English (PSEng) is a three-year triple major programme. The program combines three disciplines which are Psychology, Sociology and English to give students a flavour of both social sciences and humanities and develop their scientific and aesthetic capabilities. The discipline of Psychology is aimed at introducing students to the fundamental processes underlying human behaviour. Students are exposed to various fields of psychology such as Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology and specific electives. Practical applications of psychology are also demonstrated through experiments, service-learning and experienced through internships. Students are also made aware of the scientific nature of the discipline by engaging in research projects. The discipline of Sociology lays emphasis on the theoretical and methodological functions of Sociology. Equal importance is given to a systematic introduction to the sociological studies in India. Contributions of eminent Indian sociologists and substantial themes of Indian Society are explored. The students are exposed to divergent perspectives with Sociology and acquire the necessary skills to understand various social phenomena through the perspectives of Sociology. Literature is an important cultural product of a society or a nation. Hence, the study of literature offers insights into the worldviews of different societies. This course begins with traditional British literature to the present. The course also introduces students to other literature namely American, World, Postcolonial and also the Indian literature in translation. The course also introduces students to interdisciplinary studies in culture and gender helping them to gain insights from other disciplines like history, anthropology, and sociology.
Program Objective:
Programme Outcome/Programme Learning Goals/Programme Learning Outcome: PO1: Demonstrate a coherent understanding and comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental process underlying human behavior in the multidisciplinary learning context PO2: Demonstrate critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and sensitivity to diversity while applying psychological concepts to everyday life and real-world situations.

Max Marks:100	Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
The Additional English course is offered as a second language course and seeks to introduce the students to the nuances of English literature in its varied forms and genres. The students who choose Additional English are generally proficient in the English language. Hence, instead of focusing on introducing them to language, challenging texts in terms of ideas, form, and technique are chosen. Additional English as a course is designed for students in place of a regional language. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), foreign nationals and students who have not taken Hindi, Kannada, Tamil or French at the Plus 2 or Class XII levels are eligible to choose Additional English. The course is taught for students from different streams, namely, BA, BSc, BCom, and BBA in the first year and for BA, BSc and BCom (Regular) in the second year. The first year syllabus is an attempt by the Department of English, Christ University to recognize and bring together the polyphonic Indian and Indian sub-continental voices in English in English translation for the Additional English students of the first year. This effort aims to familiarize the students with regional literatures in translation, Indian Writing in English (IWE) and literatures from Pakistan, Nepal and Srilanka, thereby, enabling the students to learn more about Indian culture and ethos through writings from different regions of the country. We have tried to represent in some way or the other the corners of India and the Indian sub-continent in this microcosmic world of short stories, poems and essays There is a prescribed text bookfor the first year students, compiled by the Department of English, Christ University and intended for private circulation. The first semester has a variety of writing from India, Pakistan and Nepal. The various essays, short stories and poems deal with various socio-economic, cultural and political issues that are relevant to modern day India and the Indian sub-continent and will enable students to comprehend issues of identity-politics, caste, religion, class, and gender. All of the selections either in the manner of their writing, the themes they deal with or the ideologies that govern them are contemporary in relevance and sensibility, whether written by contemporary writers or earlier writers. An important addition to this syllabus is the preponderance of North-Eastern writing which was hitherto not well represented. Excerpts from interviews, autobiographical writings, sports and city narratives are added to this section to introduce students to the varied genres of literature. The objectives of this course are to expose students to the rich literary and cultural diversity of Indian literatures to sensitise students on the social, political, historical and cultural ethos that has shaped the nation- INDIA to enable to grasp and appreciate the variety and abundance of Indian writing, of which this compilation is just a passing glance to learn and appreciate India through association of ideas in the texts and the external contexts (BhashaUtsav will be an intrinsic help in this endeavour)
Learning Outcome

Max Marks:100	Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
Course Description This course is taught in the second year for students from different streams, namely BA, BSc and BCom. If the first year syllabus is an attempt by the Department of English, Christ University to recognize and bring together the polyphonic Indian voices in English and Indian regional literatures in translation for the Additional English students of the first year, the second year syllabus intends to take that project a little further and open up the engagement of the students to texts from across the world. The syllabus - selection of texts will concentrate on readings from South Asian, Latin American, Australian, Canadian, and Afro- American. It will voice subaltern concerns of identity, gender, race, ethnicity and problems of belongingness experienced by humanity all over the globe. The syllabus will extend the concerns of nation and nationality and marginalization, discussed within the Indian context to a more inclusive and wider global platform. We have consciously kept out ‘mainstream’ writers and concentrated on the voices of the subalterns from across the world. There is an implicit recognition in this project that though the aspects of marginalization and the problems facing subalterns are present across cultures and nations, the experiences, expressions and reflections are specific to each race and culture. The course will address these nuances and specificities and enable our students to become more aware and sensitive to life and reality around them. This will equip the students, who are global citizens, to understand not just the Indian scenario, but also situate themselves within the wider global contexts and understand the spaces they will move into and negotiate in their future. There is a prescribed text book Blends: Voices from Margins for the second year students, compiled by the Department of English, Christ University and intended for private circulation. Course Objectives The course objectives are  to enable students to look at different cultures through Literature  to help students develop an understanding of subaltern realities and identity politics  to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across disciplines  to improve language skills –speaking, reading, writing and listening  to equip the students with tools for developing lateral thinking  to equip students with critical reading and thinking habits  to reiterate the study skills and communication skills they developed in the previous year and extend it.
Learning Outcome
CO1 : more culturally, ethically, socially and politically aware citizens of the world.. CO2: it will enable students to become aware of the nuances of cultures, ethnicities and other diversity around them and become sensitive towards them.

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45	No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100	Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
This course is taught in the second year for students from different streams, namely BA, BSc and B Com. If the first year syllabus is an attempt by the Department of English, Christ University to recognize and bring together the polyphonic Indian voices in English and Indian regional literatures in translation for the Additional English students of the first year, the second year syllabus intends to take that project a little further and open up the engagement of the students to texts from across the world. The syllabus - selection of texts will concentrate on readings from South Asian, Latin American, Australian, Canadian, and Afro-American. It will voice subaltern concerns of identity, gender, race, ethnicity and problems of belongingness experienced by humanity all over the globe. The syllabus will extend the concerns of nation and nationality and marginalization, discussed within the Indian context to a more inclusive and wider global platform. We have consciously kept out ‘mainstream’ writers and concentrated on the voices of the subalterns from across the world. There is an implicit recognition in this project that though the aspects of marginalization and the problems facing subalterns are present across cultures and nations, the experiences, expressions and reflections are specific to each race and culture. The course will address these nuances and specificities and enable our students to become more aware and sensitive to life and reality around them. This will equip the students, who are global citizens, to understand not just the Indian scenario, but also situate themselves within the wider global contexts and understand the spaces they will move into and negotiate in their future. There is a prescribed text book Blends: Voices from Margins for the second year students, compiled by the Department of English, Christ University and intended for private circulation. The course objectives are · to introduce the students to look at different cultures through Literature · to help students develop an understanding of subaltern realities and identity politics · to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across disciplines · to improve language skills –speaking, reading, writing and listening · to equip the students with tools for developing lateral thinking · to equip students with critical reading and thinking habits · to enable them to grasp and appreciate the variety and abundance of subaltern writing, of which this compilation is just a glimpse · to actively engage with the world as a cultural and social space (to be facilitated through proactive CIAs which help students to interact and engage with the realities they face everyday and have come across in these texts) · to learn and appreciate India and its place in the world through association of ideas in the texts and the external contexts · to reiterate the study skills and communication skills they developed in the previous year and extend it.
Learning Outcome
CO 1: to help students develop an understanding of subaltern realities and identity politics · to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across disciplines

Evaluation Pattern

Since CIA I insists on individual testing, there could be three ways of testing the students

A class test based on the text
A movie review
A book review

For CIA III, the students can be asked

To prepare group presentations on topics relevant to postcolonial literature
To put up an exhibition/display of the literature/paintings/other art productions of the formerly colonized countries.

These are a few ideas, however, during the course of teaching, there could be other suggestions, and CIA’s could be slightly modified.
