You can access it via the link on the bottom left-hand side of the SOAS website, or at http://ble.soas.ac.uk .

To log into BLE, please use the same details you use to access your email. If you are having any trouble accessing BLE, please email ble@soas.ac.uk

Course information on BLE

All courses taught within the department have a specific BLE page where you will be able to find information about staff, an overview of the course, weekly readings, coursework submission dates and news pertaining to the course. Note that you will NOT be able to access BLE courses unless you are correctly registered for the course.

You can access an up-to-date list of open options on the SOAS website at http://www.soas.ac.uk/languagecultures/reg/oo/. You can also access this page on your mobile device by scanning the barcode opposite. HELP, ADVICE AND SOURCES OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION There are many different sources of help and advice available to students: it is very important that you make use of the support systems if you need to do so. Small, easily solved problems may grow rapidly into big, difficult ones if nothing is done about them. Such difficulties are particularly common in the first year. Student Department Officers The Department has a specific Student Department Officer: an administrative member of staff who should be the first port of call for administrative issues pertaining to your studies. They will be able to answer queries relating to your timetable, class arrangements, coursework assignments and examinations, among other areas. The contact details for the Student Department Officer can be found under the ‘key contacts’ section at the back of this handbook. Personal Advisors All students within the Department are allocated a Personal Advisor: an academic member of staff who should be the first port of call for academic and pastoral issues affecting your studies. You will be informed who your Personal Advisor is at the start of your studies at SOAS. If you need to check who your Personal Advisor is, please feel free to contact your Department Officer, who will be able to supply this information. Timetable Students should check the up-to-date undergraduate timetable by referring to www.soas.ac.uk/timetable or by scanning the barcode opposite with your mobile device (smartphone or tablet). If you find that your core courses clash you should consult the Faculty Office (R201) for advice. Term Dates The SOAS term dates can be found on the SOAS website at http://www.soas.ac.uk/about/keydates/. Student Representatives, Departmental Meeting and t he Staff –Student Forum Each year student representatives are elected for the BSc, MSc and PhD programmes. Representatives are invited to attend departmental meetings of the academic staff and to raise matters of concern. The forum is the means by which students representatives and staff can discuss issues relating to specific courses and teaches, whereas the department meeting deals with more general issues. There are separate staff-student forums for BSc, MSc and PhD representatives. They meet at least once a term. The BSc staff-student forum is made up of student representatives, Undergraduate Tutors and the Head of Department. You will be given more information on the election of student representatives at the beginning of the first term.

Student Information Desk (SID) The Student Information Desk (SID) aims to help students make the very best of their time at SOAS by providing a high-quality information and enquiry service which is accessible to all students. SID is the first point of contact for advice and support for current students from Registry, Fees and Scholarships, Exams, Graduation, Faculties and more. If the question is more specialist, we will help you as much as we can before we put you in direct contact with the person or team at SOAS who can help you with your query. To get started, use the QR code to sign in to SID with your SOAS student reference number and password. STUDYING ASIAN AND AFRICAN POLITICS AT SOAS The BA Politics, BA Politics and, BA Politics and International Rela tions and the Certificate in Political Studies degrees at SOAS are structured around four core sub-disciplines, namely comparative political sociology, comparative political economy, political theory, and international relations (although these sub-disciplines are sometimes known by other names). The study of Politics at SOAS offers a unique perspective that grounds the analytical tools and concepts of the discipline in the historical and contemporary contexts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East as well as in the global international trends that are formative of politics in these regions. By studying Politics at SOAS, you will gain detailed knowledge and a thorough understanding of some of the most important power shifts and conflicts of ideas unfolding in the world today. You will also learn to critically engage with and explore the relevance of social science concepts for understanding contemporary geopolitics, regional politics of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, as well as gain the ability to undertake analyses and comparisons of political developments in specific countries. Teaching in the Department of Politics and International Studies combines an introduction to the discipline of politics as a comparative exercise together with awareness that comparisons must always respect the historical specificity of different political settings. This awareness is complemented by the work carried out in other departments of SOAS. A Politics degree at SOAS therefore gives you a better opportunity than most to understand global politics since our courses cover the politics of three quarters of the globe. Examples of the courses we offer include Government and Politics of Asia, of China, of the Middle East, and of Africa; International Politics; Islam and Democracy; Politics of Development; Globalisation and Global Governance; and Politics of Culture.

STUDENT REGULATIONS Definitive regulations governing the award of undergraduate degrees can be found online at http://www.soas.ac.uk/registry/degreeregulations/. Alternatively, scanning the barcode opposite will allow you to access this site on your mobile device. Please pay particular attention to the following sections:

Class Attendance Requirements: In order to benefit fully from their courses, students are expected to attend all relevant and/or required classes, which include, as appropriate to the course, lectures, tutorials, seminars, language classes, and practical sessions. Coursework Submission: All coursework should be submitted online via the submission points on the relevant course pages on the BLE (http://ble.soas.ac.uk/). Once you have submitted your work, you will receive a receipt from Turnitin. If you do not receive this within minutes of the submission, or you are experiencing problems uploading your assignment, please email a copy to your Student Support Officer (contact details at the back of this document). Coursework Deadlines: All coursework must be submitted on Turnitin via BLE by 23:59 on the day of submission. Once the deadline has passed, coursework cannot be withdrawn or resubmitted. Ensure you allow sufficient time for your work to upload onto Turnitin. Any work submitted after the 23:59 deadline will automatically receive a late submission penalty. The School Deadline for submission of coursework assignments is 16.00 on the Friday immediately before the beginning of the May/June examination period of the academic year in which the course is taken. Any coursework assignments submitted after this date will not be marked. Individual courses set submission dates in advance of this deadline, however; assignments submitted between the individual assignment submission date and the School deadline will incur a penalty of two marks every day that the assignment is submitted late. Individual assignment submission dates can be found on the relevant course pages on the BLE (http://ble.soas.ac.uk/). Late Submission of Coursework Extensions cannot be agreed to in advance from a tutor or lecturer. However, if your assignment is late due to illness or another certifiable reason (i.e. bereavement), you should complete a Reasons for Late Submission of Coursework Form and submit this with accompanying evidence to the Faculty Office (Room R201). This will then be considered by the Faculty and, if accepted, any marks deducted for late submission will be returned.

20

Coursework Word Limits: Coursework assignments which exceed the set word limit will be penalised as described in this section. Individual assignment word limits can be found on the relevant course pages on the BLE (http://ble.soas.ac.uk/).
