Disciplines available include Politics, Economics, Anthropology, Law, Literature, Cinema, Culture, Religion and History. The South Asian Area Studies MA programme attracts students from a variety of backgrounds. While some wish to broaden their previous studies or experience of South Asia, others approach the programme without having a South Asian element to their first degree, but with a desire to focus their previous training on the region.
