Our 4-year programme provides students with a strong grounding in international management, specialist knowledge of business and management in the Middle East and North Africa and competence in a Middle Eastern language. Students take courses in accounting, finance, managerial economics, marketing, corporate governance, research methods and international business strategy, together with specialist courses that draw on SOAS’s knowledge of management and finance in the Middle East and North Africa. In addition, students take three full-unit modules in a Middle Eastern Language. During their time at SOAS students have the opportunity to take approved courses from other SOAS departments, such as Law, Politics, Economics and Languages and Cultures of the Near and Middle East and Africa, providing a rich inter-disciplinary learning environment.
The programme aims to provide students with a conceptual understanding of core principles of international management and finance, the ability to apply this knowledge to real issues facing business and other organisations that operate in the Middle East or North Africa or deal with these economies, and competence in a Middle Eastern language.
