We welcome you to join our growing Study Abroad Programme. We offer undergraduate and postgraduate students the opportunity to study at SOAS for either a half or full year and transfer credits back to their home university. In addition to dedicated pastoral support and care, you will be fully integrated into the SOAS student body– both academically and socially.
Study Abroad students can choose from over 400 modules and build a unique programme including both traditional disciplines and specialist modules across each of our three Faculties - Arts & Humanities, Law & Social Sciences and Languages & Cultures.
You may pick options within our regional expertise of Africa, Asia and/or the Middle East; one of the over 50 non-European languages taught or courses within our traditional academic disciplines. Whether you are coming to SOAS for the full year or half the year, you are not restricted to a Study Abroad ‘Track,’ to one specific Faculty, or to one specific department. You can choose modules from across SOAS.
