BA History and Japanese (Year Abroad)

SOAS University of London

Our innovative BA History combined programme provides highly engaging treatments of not only historical events and historical periods in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, but also of the very practice of history as an academic discipline itself. The programme’s curriculum is embedded in a variety of powerful conceptual frameworks used by our academic experts and our students, such as postcoloniality and decoloniality. BA History combined at SOAS, therefore, fosters a critical, global perspective that expands and deepens the frontiers of historical knowledge.Our BA History combined programme encourages you to develop your knowledge of the regional histories of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East from these regions’ local perspectives and in these regions’ own terms. In this transformative, decolonial way, you will be able to then link these histories to the history of the world, and make critical sense of past, present, and possible futures.
