Help, I don’t know what courses to choose!

Programme structures can be found on the relevant undergraduate and postgraduate webpages. These clearly indicate core, compulsory and optional courses available per year of study.

Departmental Briefing sessions will take place towards the end of Term 2.

If you are unsure at any time about your course selections please contact the Faculty Office. There are also designated academic tutors who can provide advice about selections. Click here for more information.

The details of Open Option courses can found here.

Year abroad students

There is no requirement for students who will be abroad in the 2013/14 academic year to select their courses online. Students who are currently abroad, but are expected to return to SOAS in 2013/14, are asked to sign-up for courses online.

The small print

Whilst SOAS cannot guarantee that all courses offered during this sign-up period will be available in the 2013/14 session, every effort will be made to accommodate student choices and the number of selections made to a particular course may be used to determine this availability. The information will also be used to inform the teaching timetable for 2013/14, although it may not be possible to guarantee that all student choices will be achievable due to the potential for clashes. Please see the online timetable to obtain an idea of how lecture and tutorials have been structured in 2012/13.
