Course Overview

The origin of literature in different cultures is fascinating, and it reveals our shared heritage with other parts of the world. The need for expression and sharing through words, poetry, songs, and dancing is at the root of literature. Thus, literature is as old as human civilisation itself. Online Refresher Course in Arts (Literature & Culture) by Swayam aims to teach the birth of world literature in various cultures.

The Online Refresher Course in Arts (Literature & Culture) syllabus offers an introduction to the key literary texts and elements worldwide and at different ages. It includes literary texts from ancient world civilisations to the modern and postcolonial time. The course structure has been divided into three broad sections, including 40 modules.

In addition, the Online Refresher Course in Arts (Literature & Culture) course comes under the Annual Refresher Programme In Teaching (ARPIT) programme. The course has also been approved by the AICTE and is offered and delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru University’s faculty (JNU).
