 SOAS looks like the world that's coming. There's nowhere else where you'll find this kind of diverse student body, passionate faculty members, an experience in the heart of London, and be able to study Asia, Africa and the Middle East in the global context with this kind of depth. It has been very exciting arriving to the school, meeting the teachers, the fellow students and such a great place. And now, you know, with this beautiful London weather. The river is a fantastic thing. The one thing that I can guarantee you at SOAS is that you'll get a very different perspective, not just the perspective that you'll be used to from mainstream media, but something which really puts the experience and perspectives from Asia, Africa and the Middle East front and centre of the kind of work and study that we do. SOAS is all along the line of decolonising the academia and rebuilding scholarship closer to the regional reality and knowledge system. SOAS has a very strong reputation for post-colonial perspectives and approaches to the Middle East. The post-colonial asks how gender is invested as a civilising force already in the history of imperial interventions into the region. Very good university which has a very high reputation for regional studies and especially the Middle East studies. After all, the Middle East is an artificial concept imposed from without by the British authorities. Phenomenal area studies programmes in the areas of Asia and Africa and its international reputation. SOAS is very unique, located in the heart of the West, while its focus is on Asia and Africa. We have over a hundred years of history of looking at those regions, particularly through a lens of culture and language with a unique blend of social sciences, law, arts and humanities subjects. This is the only course about music in Africa, art in Africa, religion in Africa, languages, history, politics, the African Union and Pan-Africanism. It looks crazy but it's fantastic. A key thing that ties together most of the work we do at SOAS is a very critical but constructive look at what's happening in the world. In SOAS it's just totally different. Everybody questions theories. We can't trust the statistics and also GDP per capita doesn't tell you much about average incomes necessarily. So when somebody says let the numbers speak for themselves, numbers don't speak for themselves. But what is this thing called neoliberalism? Why should you care? Is this a future that we really want? So we do international relations, we do development and conflict, we do gender in the Middle East, we do understanding Africa and also we look at sort of NGOs and organisations and what we might call the politics of protest. So the teaching process at SOAS is excellent. I found that kind of form of lectures including with site visits really, really helpful. You learn as much outside of the classroom as you learn inside of the classroom. You're welcome to go and join for an hour and it's an anti-war protest. Tutorials are a really good opportunity to just say what you feel and just look at the reaction of people around you. It's how they read the articles. It's a two-way communication, not only it's two-way, it's 23-way because there are 23 of us in the class. What I love most about SOAS is its genuine diversity. Global is in our DNA. Diversity is at the heart of every single thing that we do. I'm studying international relations and I'm in the classroom full of people from different countries. I've been talking to Japanese diplomats. She's taking my course, yeah. Extracurricular things are kind of also part of the overall student culture here at SOAS and I think that this makes this place particularly special. To our listeners, I hope you enjoy the brothers. And of course, we're in the heart of London. So while you're here, you can experience everything that London has to offer. Theatre, music, fashion, some incredible opportunities to engage with London but also with the United Kingdom. SOAS is open to everyone. So if you want to come to the SOAS Summer School, contact us, talk it over. We want as diverse a group of students as we can possibly get. Make sure you don't miss out. Book your place today.
