AIEBC is also engaged in teaching English/ Business communication courses to different programmes of Amity University as a value added course.

English has emerged as one of the most sought after language courses all over the world by virtue of its richness, variety and complexity in content and diversity in application. Learners with creative bent of mind can participate in the literary exercise of interpretation and creativity. Besides academics, it opens up a spectrum of career options such as Creative Writing, Content Writing, Content Editing, Journalism, etc. Also, the corporate world is open to professionals with a strong foundation in English”

“The contribution of English in the overall career development of any professional is significant. It is in this regard, that AIESR has a major share in preparing the students most suited to the professional world after their academic attainment. While we teach English communication skills and business communication to a large number of students spread over about 20 institutions of Amity University, we also run courses like BA Hons. English, MA English, M.Phil English and Ph.D and contribute extensively to studies in English literature. It is this role of the institution which prompted the change in the name of the institute from Amity Institute of English & Business Communication to more meaningful name of Amity Institute of English Studies and Research.”
