Welcome to the Language Centre
We are the Language Centre at SOAS, University of London (the School of Oriental and African Studies).
We provide beginners, intermediate and advanced evening and daytime courses in a wide range of African, Asian and Middle Eastern languages. We cater for the needs of individuals, commerce, industry, government and public organisations. Languages are taught normally to groups of not more than 15 people.
We can arrange individually tailored courses and in-company instruction.
