Intorduction to MA Iranian Studies

Discover the crossroads of history, culture, and politics that define Iran’s place in the modern world. 

Join us for an inspiring introduction to the MA Iranian Studies at SOAS University of London — the UK’s leading centre dedicated to the study of Iran and the Persianate world. 

This webinar will guide prospective students through our distinctive curriculum, where Persian language, literature, history, and international relations intersect with cutting-edge research on society, media, and culture. Learn how our expert faculty and the SOAS Centre for Iranian Studies connect students to vibrant research communities, public events, and scholarship opportunities supported by the Kamran Djam Endowment. Whether you’re passionate about contemporary Iranian politics, classical poetry, or cultural diplomacy, discover how studying at SOAS equips you to engage critically and creatively with one of the world’s most influential civilisations.

We are running two sessions of the webinar, in the morning at 10:00am (UK time) and then later in the afternoon at 5:00pm (UK time). Please book for the session that's most convenient for you.

This event is part of our SOAS student webinar series, designed to provide you with all the essential information about being a SOAS student in London. Join us to explore topics like how to apply, secure funding, find accommodation, and enjoy student life once you arrive.
