Program Overview

Understand art, music and culture from a global perspective.

On the BA Creative Arts and Cultural Industries, you will study Asia, Africa and their diasporas through a range of disciplines, from History of Art and Archaeology to Music, Curating, Film and Media. The only programme of its kind in the UK, the degree offers historical, theoretical and practical training by world-leading experts, and supported by close connections with industry partners.

Strong emphasis is placed on professional skills tailored for industry demands, and ideally suited for careers in arts management, marketing and public relations, journalism, and the music industry.

Students can shape their degree around specific regional or thematic interests through wide-ranging options from across the School of Arts and other departments at SOAS. The first year gives students an introduction to the arts, music and cultural industries of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. During the second and third years, students continue developing critical theory and research skills.

Optional modules can include a language or other discipline outside the School of Arts, and practice-based modules which offer training in skills such as musical performance, podcasting, sound recording and curating.
