The Department of English was established in 2011, the same year Lahore Leads University received its charter from the Government of Punjab. Since its inception, the department has remained active and vibrant in its academic and co-curricular pursuits. Recognizing the challenges of the new millennium—both nationally and internationally—the department has developed a diverse range of programs at the associate, undergraduate, and graduate levels, including BS (Hons) English, MPhil English Literature, and MPhil English Linguistics.

To promote the holistic development of students—academically, critically, creatively, and in research—the department has established the Leads Study Circle, a student-led forum guided by faculty members. The Circle meets fortnightly to support students in writing research papers and to familiarize them with national and international academic trends and opportunities.

The department’s faculty blends extensive academic experience with youthful dynamism, demonstrating expertise in both Linguistics and Literature. By staying aligned with HEC policies and remaining responsive to cultural, educational, academic, pedagogical, and pragmatic needs, the department ensures that its programs remain current, relevant, and impactful.

In recognition of the academic needs of both local and international students, the Department of English continues to expand its offerings, providing high-quality MPhil programs in Literature and Linguistics for prospective scholars and professionals.
