Student life

Overview

There's nowhere better to be a student than London - and SOAS is right at its heart.

Located in cosmopolitan Bloomsbury, our Russell Square campus is at the centre of it all. It has everything you need – including the warm atmosphere our students tell us makes SOAS feel like a home away from home.

Be sure to check out the Student Handbook (PDF) where you can find all information about life on campus.
