Welcome!
Following the inspiration of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, the London School of Tibetan Studies focuses on the study of Tibetan culture in collaboration with SOAS, University of London.
Currently we are offering a wide range of lectures and short courses based on the study programme of a traditional Tibetan College giving students the opportunity to train in the ‘Five Great Fields of Knowledge’: Art, Medicine, Language & Grammar, Logic and Meditation / Tibetan Buddhism.
