About us

Who we are

SOAS Students’ Union is a bustling and diverse environment which offers support and representation for all SOAS students. It is our role to make sure that all our students’ – be they international, home, part-time or full-time – voices are heard.  We have four full time co-presidents who work full time to represent students. They attend School committees and lobby management on issues raised directly by students. There are also sixteen part time officers who work with all our student communities.

Representation also occurs at a course level. SOAS has one of the best Class Representative schemes in the country (the model for a number of other Universities). Not only does this ensure students voices are heard on every level, but that more students can be involved democratically with the direction the Students’ Union chooses. We recognize that we can only be representative by getting people involved.

There are many other ways students can get involved with the Union. We have two hundred clubs and societies, covering sport, social, campaigning, political debate, cultural celebration and everything in between. It's our job to make student lives in London easier, more interesting and packed with things to do. The Union puts on a variety of diverse events, both inside and outside of SOAS. We run a Radio station, which is part of the educational learning of students, and full of popular music and talk shows, and produces podcasts covering the academic interests of students and scholars at SOAS. 

In addition to all of this the Union runs the bar in SOAS, a popular meeting place for student, as well as the student common spaces, and a shop. We support students to run a Food Co-op and Common Ground gardens, The Spirit news and an Undergraduate Journal. 

We're a small organisation, with 8 full time staff, and over 50 part time student staff. We love being part of a specialist community of learning in the heart of London, with students and staff from every corner of the globe.
