Overview

We lead you on a journey of exploration supported by lectures and contributions from a wide range of leading scholars, curators, and art market professionals. We have a formal association with the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, which allows us to offer exceptional access to the collections and curatorial expertise of both institutions.

Key Facts

The Asian Art (Online) programme from SOAS University of London offers you flexibility in how and where you study, while retaining our object-based approach. Your online learning will be supported by a range of bespoke, professionally produced videos, shot in situ at the museums we work with. You are supported by online platforms and technologies that allow you to engage deeply with the objects you study. You can choose to either complete your full programme online, or to augment your online experience with an intensive two-week supporting course offering museum-based study in London (Asian Art in the Museum).
