Some of the things our students and alumni have said about us:
BA Study of Religions
The degree program is quite challenging and stimulating and makes me constantly reassess my preconceptions and look at issues from points of view that I had never considered before and I’m developing my skills.
Exchange Programme
My experience here of studying Buddhism and Taoism was highly inspiring
Studying Buddhism at SOAS is certainly an enjoyable journey full of enlightenment and encouragement.
BA Study of Religions
SOAS is all about the people! If ever I get frustrated with my studies I remember that I have met some of the most brilliant, funny and inspiring people through being here.
MA Religions of Asia and Africa
The Study of Religions department offers the perfect combination of unparalleled breadth of modules with excellent teaching by leading academics.
MA in Religions of Asia and Africa
Thanks to my studies at SOAS I attended the Parliament of World Religions and was very involved in organising the G20 Interfaith Summit held in Istanbul, Turkey in 2015.
PhD Buddhist Studies
I would describe my time at SOAS as some of the happiest years of my life.
Above all, what really makes the whole experience of studying in the program so enriching is the quality teaching. It is the people that make SOAS a world-class academic institution.
MA Religions of Asia and Africa: Buddhism pathway
The multilingual culture and great diversity at SOAS makes it a unique place to study.
The course has been beautifully structured so that all the modules interlink and complement each other.
