 Welcome to the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics. Here at SOAS we specialise in a range of languages and cultures across Africa, the Near and Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Our postgraduate programmes provide exceptional opportunities for advanced study in a department with a strong research culture and collaborative research links with universities and NGOs across the world. We are dedicated to decolonising the curriculum and to exploring perspectives developed beyond Western construction of knowledge. Our staff have extensive experience and engagement with the regions we cover, teaching over 20 languages including Arabic, Swahili, Persian, Hindi, Turkish and Vietnamese. We encourage students to engage with research with opportunities to speak at conferences through the year. You'll study in the heart of London where we hope to provide lots of extracurricular activities too, such as film screenings and museum visits. Studying at SOAS means joining a diverse community of people from around the world. Our graduates lease SOAS not only with linguistic and cultural expertise, but also with skills in written and oral communication, analysis and problem solving that are valued by top employers. Study at SOAS to gain the skills and culture understanding to help you further your career.
