The English Literature and Cultural Studies Program was developed in response to one of the most important goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes the importance of “bridging the gap between education and the requirements of the labor market.” The program also came to fulfill the fifth strategic goal of the Ministry of Education, which aims to “enhance the basic values and skills of students and enhance the ability of the education system to meet the development requirements and Labor market needs.” In light of the agreement between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture on the necessity of including culture and arts in higher education programs, and in response to the growing interest of the Ministry of Culture in the fields of literature, philosophy, creative writing, media, theater, and arts, the Department of English Literature at Princess Nourah University developed the English Literature and Cultural Studies Program. The vitality of this national cultural movement is to meet the needs of the labor market in this field.

Nature and Goals of the Program

In its study plan, the program relies on a combination of two fields: the field of English language and literature and the field of cultural studies to meet the needs of the labor market through specialized courses in the fields of humanities. The program aims to contain different cultures and enhance cultural communication with the outside world by offering courses covering various fields such as Arab culture, global culture, environment and media, visual culture, and creative writing. The courses include the following specializations: •Theatre, narrative and poetry literature and arts, modern and contemporary literature, criticism, and theatrical production through students’ practical projects. •Culture in its global sense, which includes the study of literary and cultural production related to women and children, the creative writings of Arabs, Saudi and international writers, and minority literature. • English linguistics (as one of the pillars of culture in the field of creative writing). •Linking the study of literature to inter-disciplinary fields that share the cultural movement, such as media, environment, and visual culture.
