Students enrolled in the combined degree program will explore the diverse cultures and societies of Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia through language studies, film analysis, literature, and cultural research.
This interdisciplinary program can be paired with various SOAS disciplines such as Linguistics, History, Anthropology, Development Studies, Music, or Politics and International Relations. During their first year, students develop a comprehensive regional understanding to establish essential comparative insights.
Since language plays a fundamental role in cultural comprehension, all first-year students must select from an array of language courses. We strongly advise continuing language skill development throughout the program. Participants may opt for a year abroad to achieve cultural and linguistic proficiency in languages like Swahili, Turkish, Hebrew, Persian, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Sanskrit, Indonesian, or Vietnamese.
Program Length - 4 Years including study abroad year
