Student review [#27721] for Economics
at SOAS University of London

The aspect of the programme that I enjoyed the most was the curriculum. The Economics modules cover the basic concepts that you would study at any university, however, they also incorporate discussions on real-life events, making the course feel more relevant. All the professors are generally very helpful, although some only read their lecture notes during lectures, which is boring and not very useful in the first place. I think the course has greatly improved during my time at the university but the number of optimal courses available has gone down significantly, thus you are often forced to pick subjects you may not be interested in. The campus environment is usually full of life, which leads to a lively atmosphere. It is a very small campus but I never had trouble finding a place to study. There are also many societies and the student union is very active. Overall, I would recommend the course and the university, especially to students looking to study the Economics of developing countries in the Global South.
