SOAS boasts the most extensive community of South Asian Studies experts in the UK and Europe, establishing itself as an international authority in this discipline. Through collaboration with the SOAS South Asia Institute, the South Asia program offers comprehensive examination of this crucial region from four cross-disciplinary viewpoints: political economy, political sociology, political philosophy, and global affairs.

What impact have nationalist ideologies, rural and urban development trends, discussions on religion, caste, and gender, as well as nuclear competition and security concerns had on South Asia's evolution? How can insights into South Asian political dynamics enhance our comprehension of global political systems? The South Asia program draws on specialized knowledge of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives to analyze fundamental political questions across the region. Addressing the growing need for professionals with profound regional understanding, this program prepares students for careers in government, NGOs, international institutions, global corporations, media, policy research organizations, and academia.
