The English Literature Study Program is one of the programs under the Faculty of Humanities at Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. It was first established on May 13, 1998, based on the Decree of the Director General of Islamic Religious Affairs Number: E/107/1998, under the initial name “Tadris Bahasa Inggris” (English Education).

A significant transformation occurred in 2005 with the institutional transition from Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri (STAIN) Malang to Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Malang. Based on the Decree of the Director General of Islamic Institutional Affairs Number: DJ.II/54/2005, dated March 28, 2005, the program’s name was changed to “Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris” (English Language and Literature) to reflect a broader academic focus on language and literature.
