The SOAS pre-master's programme is a ten-month course providing academic and language preparation for international students who want to enter Masters degrees (taught and researched) at British universities in social science, business and management-related studies, arts and humanities.
The pre-master's programme was started in 1993 in order to provide international students with a thorough preparation for entering demanding Master degrees at British universities or at universities, research institutes or business-schools abroad where the language of instruction is English.
All high-ranking British universities recognise the SOAS Foundation Diploma for Postgraduate Studies (FDPS) as a value-adding academic and English-language programme for international students.
SOAS is based in the heart of London, and the capital's rich cultural and social life is literally on its doorstep. It has excellent travel connections with bus, underground and train within easy access. The Bloomsbury campus is an intellectual centre well known to tourists and academics while Vernon Square is close to many of Islington's boutiques and restaurants.
