The School is structured academically into three faculties. This area of the site gives an overview of each faculty and department, as well as the 300+ academic staff and their research interests.
In addition to academic departments SOAS also has regional and interdisciplinary centres which are responsible for a vigorous programme of activities such as conferences, colloquia, seminars and publications.
The Language Centre offers a broad range of language training and related services to the public, government departments, diplomatic services and the commercial sector in the UK and overseas.
