Some of the things our students and alumni have said about us:
MA History of Art and Archaeology (Near & Middle East & South East Asia)
The insight provided, knowledge delivered and understanding transmitted during lectures, seminars and conferences at SOAS is impressive and requires real personal involvement in the topics.
MA Near and Middle Eastern Studies
SOAS is a truly great institution that provides a stimulating learning environment with extensive resources and outstanding teaching staff.
MA in Near and Middle Eastern Studies & Certificate in Arabic
I happily give to SOAS, my two courses and my lecturers my warmest recommendation.
MA Near and Middle Eastern Studies
SOAS seemed the natural place to come, not only because of its fantastic location in the heart of London, but also because of its specialist focus and its diverse student body.
MA Middle Eastern Studies
SOAS is truly a microcosm in the heart of London.
BA Hebrew and Israeli Studies
SOAS is situated in the heart of London, which as a global capital can offer you, if you try hard, anything you wish or fancy
BA Arabic and Development Studies
The atmosphere at SOAS is incredibly stimulating, and learning in an environment with such a diverse group of engaged students has really made for a very unique learning experience.
BA Thai and Economics
SOAS is unlike most other places in the UK. It definitely has a unique feeling to it, being a relatively small university, and has a much friendlier atmosphere than larger more impersonal universities
BA Arabic and Geography
To describe SOAS in one word: enriching!
BA Persian and History
University experience in SOAS is truly a colourful and unique experience. No other University comes close.
BA Arabic and History
From the moment I first stepped into the SOAS gates, I thought ‘wow this place is different’, with a big gulp in my throat.
Study Abroad Programme
London is a phenomenal city to live in. On any given day there are plenty of things (free or cheap as well!) to do
Study Abroad Programme
London is definitely an ideal place for a university student and I believe that the city prides itself on that
Study Abroad Programme
Despite the size of the city it’s also one that you can easily come to know and feel comfortable in.
Erasmus Programme
If you ever have this opportunity, don’t think twice!
Erasmus Programme
I met so many people from different countries, which was an unbelievable experience. Here you can find friends for a lifetime from all over the world and it definitely broadens your horizon.
Taking an MA in Turkish Studies at SOAS has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
BA Persian and History of Art and Archaeology
The interdisciplinary approach of courses at SOAS made a huge impact on me.
MA Palestine Studies
SOAS was the obvious choice of place to study and the MA in Palestine Studies, taught by Palestinian, Israeli and British academics, fitted the bill.
