SOAS is among the best schools for the studies of foreign cultures and languages in the world. In fact, in the field of African and Arabic culture and language studies, it is the best. The school offers a stunning array of courses from the History of Cambodian art to a five-step course in Swahili. The lecturers are superb and almost every course boasts a wealth of fascinating additional modules.
SOAS is one of the most interesting places to study in the world. The student body is largely made up of insufferably trendy young rich kids who think they are going to be the next Lawrence of Arabia or Bruce Chatwin, but the courses offered here are truly brilliant.
SOAS is an inspirational model for further education. Every single course is actually as exciting and informative as it sounds and the sheer quality of the teaching and resources available in London makes this one of the most exciting places in the world to study.
