We are distinctively positioned to analyse some of the most challenging issues facing the world today. Celebrating 100 years of research and teaching excellence SOAS’s world class scholars are well-placed to provide the analysis and understanding of our rapidly changing world. Our programmes are taught by respected specialists engaged in fieldwork and research which influence government policy and
the lives of individuals across the globe. SOAS scholars grapple with the pressing issues confronting two-thirds of humankind today: democracy, development, economy, finance and public policy, human rights, migration, identity, legal systems, poverty, religion, and social change.From day one at our central London campus, our students are encouraged to challenge conventional views and think globally – and that’s one of the reasons why they develop careers that make a real difference. A SOAS student is typically passionate about their subject; opts to learn a second language; loves to learn, to travel, to be surprised; and is interested and engaged with the world around them.
