Term Dates


The old academic year at SOAS consisted of three terms, the first two roughly 11 weeks long and the third usually eight weeks in length. The autumn and spring terms included a reading week. The new academic year will consist of two semesters and two exam seasons -- this is to allow students to have a smoother transition between classes and exams. See more below!
