SOAS University of London is a remarkable institution. In the NSS 2016 we were voted number one in London for teaching across our subject areas, covering: Anthropology and Sociology, Law, Politics and International Studies, Development Studies, Finance and Management and Languages. But what makes us unique is the methodology behind our teaching. We encourage our students to think globally, which in an increasingly interconnected world is what sets them apart from the crowd. Students can design their own intellectual journey by choosing modules across the disciplines. Interested? Find out more about our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees on our website.
