SOAS is one of the few higher education institutions to offer an undergraduate degree in Tibetan, and the programme is unique in that one can combine Tibetan with the Study of Religions, Social Anthropology, History of Art/Archaeology or Development Studies. The BA Tibetan is only available as a two-subject degree. All students on the programme are required to obtain an elementary knowledge of both modern and classical Tibetan. In later years they can choose to focus exclusively on either the modern or the classical language and culture.
