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.
