This certificate is a one-year course that is offered by the department to those who are keen to study politics at Masters level, but do not have a first degree in the subject. It is also of interest for those who do not wish to commit three or four years to an undergraduate degree but want to study some introductory courses. It is particularly useful for students who have a first degree in an Africa- or Asia-related subject or language, and who wish to apply that skill to the study of a particular country or region.

Course programme

Students have to take four undergraduate units from those that are available to full-time undergraduate students, with whom they also attend lectures and tutorials. Course expectations are the same as for full time students (attendance, coursework, essays, annual examinations, etc). Passing the certificate at an upper second class standard is normally deemed to make a student eligible for the taught Master's degrees offered by the Department of Politics and International Studies at SOAS.

Students normally choose TWO introductory units and ONE EACH from the Disciplinary and Regional units. The following is a list of available courses - please note that not every course may be available every year.

Introductory Units
  • Introduction to Political Theory
  • States, people, and power in Asia and Africa
Disciplinary Units
  • Comparative political sociology of Asia and Africa
  • Political theory
  • Politics of development
Regional Units
  • Government and politics of China
  • Government and politics of the Middle East
  • Government and politics of South Asia
  • Southeast Asian government and politics
  • The state and politics in Africa
  • Taiwan's Politics and International Relations
