Tamil University
Tamil University was established in 1981 and UGC accorded a statutory recognition to the university in 1983. The aims and objectives of this university comprise a higher research in Tamilology and advanced study in various other allied branches such as Linguistics, Translation, Lexicography, Music, Drama and Manuscriptology. Academic research is offered by the University through M.Phil and Ph.D programmes in 1992 for a few disciplines such as Language, Literature, Translation, Sculpture, History and Architecture. Due to the public demand, even Post graduate programmes had to be included in June 2003.
