About us

At SOAS, we use our expertise in Africa, Asia and the Middle East as a lens through which to interrogate and understand the major challenges of our time. With an explicit mandate of social justice, we bring the diversity of the world to our vibrant campus in central London.

We are a truly global institution. We are ranked 2nd in the UK for international faculty (QS 2024), we offer a wide array of study abroad options to over 70 destinations worldwide, and we welcome students and staff to our London campus from over 140 countries. 

Our staff and students engage in the robust debate and academic rigour required to produce future leaders capable of making an impact in a changing world. At SOAS, you will learn not only the professional skills required by your chosen field, but the soft skills required to be an engaged and global citizen. 

 

What makes us different

At SOAS we interrogate the great challenges of our time - climate change, political and social polarisation, and inequality - through a global lens. Our mission is to develop local and global knowledge, international perspectives, engage in robust debate, and teach the necessary skills required to be a global citizen - one who is capable of making an impact in a changing world.

If you want to expand your horizons and develop a deeper understanding of the world, be part of SOAS: the world's university.
