SOAS is a great place to learn about and discuss politics, and I owe a lot to some inspiring lecturers and students.
SOAS has allowed me to focus on politics in a particular region of interest and also study a language of that area.
SOAS has undoubtedly proven to be a myriad of unique and brilliant experiences - all thanks to its exceptionally diverse student body and world-class faculty. Neither leave any stone unturned to make SOAS the vibrant, spirited and accepting space that it is.
SOAS has allowed me to explore a plethora of ideas, themes and concepts that would simply not be the same elsewhere.
Studying at SOAS has completely reshaped the certainties I had of the world surrounding me. Mindblowing experience of learning how to effectively criticise and reassess prejudices about societies, culture and the world.
All the staff and students are passionate about what they are doing, the class is always full of energy and fun.
SOAS is more than a university and a place to get an education, it is a community and a big diverse family.
