Arts & Humanities Undergraduate Courses
Courses that run across the full year are available to all visiting students - whether at SOAS for the full year, term 1 only or terms 2&3 only
Department of Anthropology
Some of the courses within the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at SOAS are specialised in nature and taught at an advanced level. In order to derive benefit from them, students, both SOAS students and visiting students, are asked to meet entry requirements in terms of prerequisite previous courses they must have studied. New students will be expected to have passed equivalent courses at their home institution to those listed as prerequisite for SOAS students. Both to clarify their eligibility and to ensure that they enrol on courses properly advised, they are requested to contact the relevant course convenor before arrival at SOAS. Contact details for course convenors are given with the course descriptions or you can contact the Study Abroad office for details.
Erasmus Students
Unfortunately Erasmus Exchange students are not eligible to choose courses from the Anthropology department since this department has no Erasmus agreements. Students can consider courses from all other departments.
