Student Profiles

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.

The most lucrative resource has been the SOAS library which has an excellent South Asia collection

My choice to study at SOAS was the best decision I ever made; being a student here is an exciting and unique experience.

SOAS is the only institution in the UK to offer Nepali as a BA, and the opportunities to study the history of South Asia are unparalleled anywhere else

I have always had an interest in the history, culture and religions of South Asia and having experienced Sanskrit as a language before it was a logical choice to pursue it as a degree at SOAS

For the first time in my college career, I felt like I belonged to an intellectual community

I really enjoyed the language course. The teachers are amazing and give every student the attention they need.

The people are nice, the academics are inspiring, and the city is marvellous! Why would anyone not want to come?!

I will remember great and long-lasting discussions, helpful and open-minded people and teachers who have time for their students.

If you think you might pass it up because it might not be an adventure- think twice. I know I had my heart set on something exotic like India, but London has been more than I could have wanted.
