Literature
In Literature, courses are designed with three broad interests which include; emphasis on postcolonial literary studies (Literature of PNG and the South Pacific); theory and criticism; emphasis on creative writing, editing, publishing, literary techniques and genre studies and focus on cultural studies, literature and society, oral traditions and folklore. Special attention is given to folklore, ethno botany, traditional knowledge systems, language and cultures of PNG.
Literature major covers all three areas of focus in first and second years of studies and students choose to focus on one of the three areas in the third and final years. Electives offered by other strands can be taken at the same time. Flexibility allows students to pursue interested outside of the core syllabus of Literature.
A literature degree holder will be exposed to various discursive domains in literary studies, writing and critical skills. Courses like literature and politics, literature, nation and culture, postcolonial literature, Aboriginal and Maori literature, cultural studies, literary theory, writing, editing and publishing, folklore, creative writing, literature and society, and others are very useful.
