IES: SOAS, University of London
Through the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES), students may enroll directly in SOAS, the only institution of higher education in the UK to specialize in the study of Asia, Africa, and the near and Middle East. SOAS is located in the Bloomsbury area of central London. The school prides itself on the level of individual contact that students have with instructors.
“Because SOAS is so specialized, learning/academic conversations with peers never stop at the classroom. It was hugely beneficial to learn from peers and professors from so many countries around the world. I’m proud to have been a SOAS student.” - Evan G. '15
