IFSA - SOAS, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON PARTNERSHIP
London, England
WHY STUDY IN CITY?
London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and one of the most popular study abroad destinations. A sophisticated city with endless cultural, historic, artistic, political, and intellectual offerings, it’s also home to many universities scattered throughout different neighborhoods. London’s excellent public transportation system will take you easily from your housing to classes and anywhere else you want to go. The city’s train stations, bus networks, and airports make traveling throughout the UK and Europe a snap.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Prestigious SOAS, or School of Oriental and African Studies, is the UK’s only university to specialize in the study of Asia, Africa, and the Near and Middle East. “The world’s university” aspires to tackle global problems and broaden students’ views. With half the student body from beyond the UK, being here is almost like taking a world tour.
Located in central London, the leafy, intellectual Bloomsbury district campus is full of museums, cafes, parks, and grand architecture. Oxford Street, Covent Garden, and the West End are also in easy reach.
In addition to outstanding academics and a prime location, your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities (no extra costs) that give you cultural insights tourists often miss. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.
