Course summary
This joint honours programme is designed for students who are interested in the languages and cultures of four of the key areas of SOAS specialisation: Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia, and want to pair this with another subject. The BA Languages and Cultures (Middle East, Africa, South and Southeast Asia) programme provides students with an in-depth understanding of these key world regions and is grounded in the study of one or more of these regions’ languages (of the student’s choice). At the same time, the programme gives students access to SOAS’s comprehensive cross-regional expertise and so provides them with an understanding of the interconnectedness of these regions in an increasingly globalised world. Students taking the two-subject degree take a combination of modules from BA Languages and Cultures and also from their other subject, allowing for a programme tailored to their skills and interests. This combination degree programme provides students with a solid methodological, interdisciplinary foundation and allows them to develop a holistic and integrated approach to the study of Africa, Asia and the Middle East through their languages and cultures, complemented by another subject.
