Delhi University is breaking new ground with its upcoming elective, "Negotiating Intimate Relationships", debuting in the 2025–26 academic year for all undergraduate programs.
Developed by the Psychology Department, this four-credit course tackles the emotional minefield of modern love - think Tinder, Instagram, jealousy, heartbreak, and red flags.
Structured across four dynamic units - friendship and intimacy psychology, love theories (like Sternberg’s triangular model), red-flag detection, and strategies for thriving relationships - the course blends academic insight with real-life relevance . Students will engage in weekly lectures and interactive tutorials, analyzing social media networks, dissecting cinematic romances like Kabir Singh and Titanic, and exploring real-world dating dilemmas .
This pioneering course comes in response to alarming incidents in Delhi - three recent youth-related murders tied to online jealousy - highlighting the urgent need for emotional intelligence and safe boundary-setting. DU’s bold move aims to equip Gen‑Z with the tools to recognize unhealthy patterns early, prevent emotional trauma, and build satisfying, respectful relationships.
