The MA in African Studies at SOAS offers an exceptional curriculum with advanced courses focused on Africa - one of the globe's most captivating and complex regions.

A key benefit of this degree is the chance to explore the continent through multiple academic disciplines. Past students have pursued this program for various reasons. While some are driven by a profound interest in a specific area's history, culture, or political economy, others see it as a way to enhance their professional prospects.

Graduates often pursue careers either in Africa or in Africa-related fields. The option to pair African subject studies with an African language proves particularly valuable, though applicants typically need to demonstrate some foreign language learning ability.
