I take part in the LLB programme, in terms of the course structure and the modules they are very clearly structured so student like me are well informed about what we need to learn. Also the university is a very inclusive university with many international student as well as social events hosted by the university . However, the help received by the university staff is limited. For example, I have spoke to many student as well as including myself who have reached out to lectures asking for help or clarifying misunderstanding who have ignored my emails or reply back to me saying that I should look on the Moodle page. As a first year student, I’m not quite used the structure and the independence of uni life however some staff have been quite oblivious to this . Other than that it’s a great university.

SOAS is a unique university, in terms of courses, people and it’s impact on various world issues.
The courses are full of interesting content, and the lecturers usually deliver it well.
The facilities, such as it’s library, are great. The library specifically is well-stocked with resources and academic research about many different topics of interest for culture and language studies. There are also plenty of silent study spaces in the library and around campus.
The biggest downside to this university is, unfortunately, the management and administration team. Do not expect to get quick email replies, or your phone calls answered. It has really been a hindrance to my own studies, as well as my course mates’ studies. If there is an issue with anything that the head of department can’t help you with, the likelihood of getting it resolved on time is very, very low.
Overall, the university is great, as long as there are no issues with anything outside of academic content.

Pursuing my LLB degree through them was a life-changing experience. The faculty was extremely supportive and the online learning was not complex at all. I will always recommend other students opt for at least one degree from here.

It has a high academic standard and encourages its students to think about different issues with an open mind. The environment allows all kinds of people to coexist and work towards their degrees. SOAS provides what it stands for, a different perspective on the study of Asia and Africa through all of its degrees.
