Intercollegiate Students

  1. UG Students from other University of London colleges wishing to study a SOAS course as an Intercollegiate student should first check with your own college - for confirmation about whether this is possible and for details of the application procedure. Then, please contact the appropriate Faculty Office in person for further details about registration.
    You will be required to complete an application form which will require approval from your UG Tutor and Registry in addition to the SOAS Course Convenor.  For further information see http://www.soas.ac.uk/registry/intercollegiatecourses/
  2. SOAS undergraduate students wishing to take a course from another University of London college as an 'open option’ must do the following:
    1. select the appropriate ‘intercollegiate course’ unit from those listed in the Online Course Sign-up system
    2. visit the appropriate University of London college as soon as possible in order to complete the necessary forms to allow enrolment on this course. Completed forms should be sent to the SOAS Registry before the end of term. However, please note that some other colleges have an earlier course registration deadline than SOAS, so the courses may fill up quickly. You are therefore advised to seek the necessary approval at your earliest convenience.
    3. you will also need to ensure that the course (and College name) is on your Course Registration form.
  3. Please note that SOAS postgraduate students are NOT permitted to take intercollegiate courses as part of their MA/MSc programme unless specifically listed as a valid option in the department handbook.
