Study Abroad Course Listings
Study Abroad students can choose from hundreds of courses across three faculties and sixteen different departments within the school. When looking at available courses, bear the following in mind:
- An offer of a place is based on your suitability for the programme, rather than for the individual courses. The courses you indicate on your application form are not guaranteed. Final course confirmation takes place during the first two weeks of class.
- If your home institution requires you to study specific courses, you must contact us in advance so that we can confirm that the course is running and gain prior approval for you.

Understanding the Study Abroad Course Lists
Department
This is the department in which the course is offered. Study Abroad students are not restricted to one department or faculty when choosing classes.
Course Code
This is the individual code number allocated to each course. This should be included on the Study Abroad application form, when you make your choice.
Pre-requisites
It is important to note that some courses may require students to have previously undertaken study in relevant areas. Please check the pre-requisites which you will find in the course description.
Credit Value
Students studying at SOAS for the full academic year are expected to take 4 units, which is a full course load in the UK. Students studying at SOAS for just term 1 or just terms 2&3 are expected to take 4 courses and do not need to be concerned about the unit value.
- If a course runs in term 1 only or in terms 2&3 only, then it is a half unit.
- If a course runs for the full year, then it is a full unit.
