Taster Days
Taught by SOAS academics, these are tasters of what a real lecture at SOAS would be like. Our Taster Day talks cover a range of topics -- watch as many as you like, maybe even some not related to your chosen programme. These are a great way to learn something new, find out more about our SOAS lecturers and experience online teaching.
Our online Taster Day is a great opportunity to experience what a lecture at SOAS is really like. You’ll get to hear from world-class academics on issues that really matter, gaining an insight into the subjects our range of programmes cover. You can register for as many taster sessions as you like. There will also be a Q&A afterwards, giving you the chance to ask anything you want to know about studying for a degree at SOAS.
