Press and Media Relations

The press and media relations function at SOAS maintains and develops the School’s profile by raising awareness of its world-leading learning, teaching and research on Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

We also help to align journalists with our experts who comment on a wide-range of issues in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
