Spanning from the medieval Crusades to modern Middle Eastern affairs, the Mughal dynasty to Gandhi's movement, the transatlantic slave trade to Islamic communities in West Africa, SOAS History provides students with a distinctive global perspective to explore the rich historical narratives of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The combined BA History honors program pairs historical studies with either another academic field or language, requiring three to four years of study based on the chosen subject. The curriculum covers diverse topics including economic systems, religious practices, cultural developments, borderlands, urban centers, and gender studies. This dual-subject approach enables students to carve out a specialized academic focus within particular geographic, cultural, or disciplinary frameworks.
