Extremely diverse cohort, one of the few UK institutions that places a strong focus on decolonized education. A national archive for South Asian and African studies is the library. SOAS is a fantastic place to study if you want to work in academics for social sciences. I wouldn’t suggest SOAS to anyone planning jobs in the private sector due to the nature of theory-based teaching there, but it doesn’t imply it’s impossible as the robust alumni network demonstrates.

The best thing about my programme is that is has such interesting modules and excellent professors who have expertise from all across the world. Soas being a university that dominated by international students opens up scope to interact with people from different countries, religions and ethnicity and that shapes you further for your future and is the best exposure one can ever get.
