Shiv Nadar IoE, London University Offers Joint MA In Global Urban Sociology

The Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence (Shiv Nadar IoE) has signed a partnership agreement with the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London to offer a one-year Joint MA in Global Urban Sociology.

The programme is designed jointly by faculty in Anthropology and Sociology from both institutions. It is aimed at students who seek advanced learning in an intensive degree programme, as well as working professionals who seek added skills in their career paths. The one-year (12-month) MA programme will allow students to study in two contrasting cities. Students will have the opportunity to travel to the UK and India as part of the programme, with the first term spent in London at SOAS, the second term spent in Delhi, followed by a dissertation which can be completed on either of the campuses or remotely. They will be registered at both institutions and will have access to resources and facilities from both institutions throughout the programme. Upon completion of the programme, students will be awarded a joint MA by SOAS, University of London and Shiv Nadar IoE.

The curricula include issues like climate change, urban ecologies, digital governance, public health, social infrastructure, city architecture and urban humanitarianism, in addition to urban research design.

The programme has a set tuition fee of £12,500 which is a fraction of the range usually paid by Indian students in the UK. Competitive financial aid will also be available for the programme. Applications to the programme are currently open and will be accepted until  31 July 2024. The programme will commence in September 2024. Interested candidates can apply from the official website.
