Amazing uni with amazing people. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the country. Great vibe. Great academics and chilled out atmosphere. I did anthropology of development. Anyone who actually cares about people and wants to do development, I recommend this course. Anyone who is already doing anthropology I recommend doing social anthropology. The league tables cannot possibly capture the real value of coming to SOAS.

SOAS is one of London’s top universities — famous for its specialization in the Orient(despite Edward Said’s infamous critique) and Africa, and for its politicized student body. SOAS Language Centre accepts independent students and teaches everything from Arabic to Zulu with classes in the evenings and at weekends. The bookshop(just inside the Brunei Gallery) is a great place to pick up a copy of the Ibn Khaldun or to browse the latest post-modern histories of Chinese society. Most of the university is closed to tourists or visitors but you can wonder through and get a feel for the place.
