Tibetan Studies at SOAS
The School of Oriental and African Studies became the first institution of higher education in the United Kingdom to offer Tibetan, when David Snellgrove joined SOAS in 1950 (for an interview see www.alanmacfarlane.com/DO/filmshow/snellgrove_fast.htm). This historic leadership in Tibetan studies continues today with a variety of programmes, staff, events, and resources including the only BA programme in Tibetan Studies anywhere in Europe.
