Welcome
At SOAS, you can study a wider range of religious and philosophical traditions than any other programme in the field.
With our highly diverse expertise, our comprehensive resources, and our interdisciplinary approach we offer a unique learning and research environment for a truly inter-cultural approach to systems of belief and thought in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
At SOAS, we study philosophy and religion because they have been powerful and enduring forces in all societies at all times.
In studying philosophy and religion one is studying how people reflect on and react to what they consider to be of value. As understanding philosophy and religion will be key to your study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, I invite you to join one of our exciting programmes for a single or joint degree.
