Information for prospective students

SOAS Careers Service 

The primary aim of the SOAS Careers Service is to assist our current students and recent SOAS graduates. This means that unfortunately we are not able to give prospective students or graduates from other institutions access to appointments with Careers Consultants or to our information room.

If you would like information about studying at SOAS and are keen to learn how to enrol, please see our undergraduate and postgraduate pages, and request a prospectus.
