SOAS, University of London (The School of Oriental and African Studies)

Studying at SOAS has been an amazing experience for me that could hardly have been matched by any other university!

SOAS is a brilliant place to study social anthropology.

Truly, deeply and sincerely, I love my time at SOAS and I cannot but seriously recommend that you choose to come here. I guarantee you that you will feel like part of the ‘family’ straightaway!

As an international student, I am lucky that I could study in the lovely city of London; and moreover, I am proud that I am in SOAS.

Thanks to recommendations from my SOAS advisers and securing distinction marks, I was able to receive full funding from the University of Virginia for my graduate work.

My commitment to the organisation shown through volunteering was a key factor in getting my current position, as well as my knowledge of the sector.

I considered a number of schools in Canada, Singapore, the USA and the UK, but SOAS intrigued me most: the choice to choose what I wanted to learn with South East Asia at a world-class institution.

I think my affiliation to SOAS has greatly enhanced my research and ability to network with others in the field.

What helped me get the job was my previous experience working with the government [and] my knowledge of sustainable development as part of my degree.

My training at SOAS gave me the time to hone my theoretical interests and gain research experience, which strengthened my PhD application.  

Use the SOAS Careers Service whilst still a current SOAS student and not wait until after graduation to sort out your working life and career.

Considering media in different cultural contexts from my course at SOAS helped me to think more deeply about the paper's role within its own society.

SOAS helped me in looking at my own cultural background with different eyes.
