How to Apply

Qualifications (Bachelor equivalency): Bachelor's degree

Equivalent to 2: CGPA: 55-60% or 5.5/10 - 6.0/10

We will consider applications with the equivalent of a UK undergraduate degree at 2:2 or above.

In addition to degree classification, we take into account other elements of the application including supporting statements and references. While references are optional, they can help build a stronger application profile if you fall below the 2:2 requirement or have non-traditional qualifications.

The country information below outlines international and EU qualifications equivalent to a 2:2 UK degree. Please remember to check individual degree programme pages for any subject-specific entry requirements.

All applicants must be able to show that their English is of a high enough standard to successfully engage with and complete their course at SOAS.

If you have not yet taken an English language test, you can still apply for your degree, but we will include evidence of language requirements as part of your offer conditions. In all cases, we consider the most recent test evidence.

SOAS reserves the right to request additional evidence of English Language Proficiency. You can demonstrate English language ability in several ways.

Details of many of the English language qualifications that we accept, along with minimum scores for undergraduate and postgraduate applicants, are provided below. We consider these qualifications alongside other evidence of English language ability, such as your references, curriculum vitae or personal statement. Please note that we do not accept composite test scores (such as TOEFL MyBest Scores) but we do accept IELTS One Skill Retake.
