Student Profiles

There is some sort of positive vibe that makes this place highly addictive.

When I heard about SOAS I immediately knew it was the school for me.

SOAS gives you an understanding of non-western languages, cultures and countries which is increasingly important in a globalised world.

Studying for my MA in Taiwan Studies at SOAS was a wonderful experience

I came to study at SOAS because of its good reputation in Mandarin Chinese.

SOAS was the ideal place for me to study cross-Strait relations

Students come to SOAS with an interest that soon develops into a passion and, in time, an obsession with their discipline.

Here you’re not only intrigued by the lectures but also by the people around you.

There’s a vibe around the campus that relays a closeness, and acceptance.

Be open to new experiences and bring your appetite.

When you come to London, you don’t just come to exchange ideas with the English, but to exchange ideas and culture with people from all of the world. This is especially true at SOAS.

In my spare time I enjoy both watching and performing Chinese Opera.
