The School of Literature is an organizational inter-departmental framework which encourages co-operation among all the literature departments at the levels of research, teaching, and extra-curricular academic activities (an international periodical, annual conference). It also attempts to develop a young generation of scholars and teachers by involving graduate students (MA and PhD students) in the life of the university and giving the best of them financial help. The School started its activities in the academic year 2002/3.
