Postgraduate Student Panel Discussion: Life at SOAS

Get an authentic feel for SOAS, directly from the students who live and study here every day. 

Join us for a live conversation with current postgraduates as they share what it’s really like to be part of our close‑knit community, experience our unique campus culture, and study in the heart of London while feeling supported and welcomed. 

During the panel, you’ll hear how our students experience this academic strength day‑to‑day, through engaged teaching, interdisciplinary perspectives, and meaningful conversations that challenge them to think differently. 

Topics we’ll cover

• How panellists discovered SOAS and why they chose their programme
• What the day‑to‑day campus experience feels like in a close‑knit community
• Accommodation options and tips (halls vs. private)
• Living in London on a student budget and making the most of the city
• Clubs, societies and SU activities; finding your community
• Careers support, employability and real examples of internships/volunteering
• Study–life balance, wellbeing and support services

This event is part of our SOAS student webinar series, designed to provide you with all the essential information about being a SOAS student in London. Join us to explore topics like how to apply, secure funding, find accommodation, and enjoy student life once you arrive.
