The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) is the only local university that offers an undergraduate programme in Tamil language and literature. This degree programme caters to the needs of adults who aspire to enhance their competence and knowledge levels in Tamil language and literature, and is jointly developed by SUSS and scholars from Tamil Nadu.
The programme, while similar to that being offered in Tamil Nadu, also includes local content that has been specially integrated into the curriculum to make it more relevant and palatable for students in Singapore. Furthermore, courses on linguistics and translation have been incorporated to suit the local needs of our bilingual society.
The Tamil language courses enhance students' understanding of linguistic concepts and language discourse from a functional grammar perspective, while the literature courses offer an insight into a range of literary genres, periods and styles.
