The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) is the only higher education institution in Europe that specialises in the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Founded in 1916, it has grown in size and reputation to offer an unrivalled combination of scholarship and specialist collections. Many students have passed through its doors including luminaries such as Paul Robeson.
SOAS is a unique institution offering programmes in law and social sciences, languages and cultures and arts and humanities. Whether you are studying law or politics, history or economics, music or history of art, you have the opportunity to deepen your study by focusing on one.
Facilities
The SOAS Library, designed by renowned architect Denys Lasdun, is one of just five National Research Libraries in the country holding over 1.2 million volumes, books, periodicals and audio-visual materials. A £12m Library Transformation Project is underway which will transform the School as it approaches its centenary in 2016 and provide a modern environment for its staff, students and users from around the world.
IT facilities are available on both teaching campuses comprising PCs, Macs, language labs and satellite TV. SOAS has exclusive access to two student residences. These are purpose-built and offer individual study bedrooms with en-suite facilities, telephone and internet access. SOAS students also have
access to intercollegiate University of London residences.
Students have a wide range of support services from dedicated Welfare Officers, Counsellors, Chaplains and Careers Advisers to the Students’ Union. The latter organises social events and represents students’ interests on formal School committees.
