Bachelor degree at SOAS

11 years of school is not enough to get into SOAS. Since students study longer in United Kingdom, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS, PTE or TOEFL exam. Applicants will need a subject exam — ACT or SAT. Additionally, upon admission, an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma can be accepted.

Doctorate degree at SOAS

If you decide to pursue a career in science and enroll in a doctoral program, you must pass the language exam — IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. TOEFL — 105.
