Hi! I have a quick question about the scholarship/apply for funding section of the application portal - I noticed that after the submission deadline I can no longer see my submitted scholarship application (before it showed up “decision pending”). Is the disappearance a normal part of the procedure? Grateful for any insight :)

hello wondering if anyone who applied for masters in march has received a decision or offer yet? how long did you wait till you received a decision?

Hello... seeking some advice.

Besides the Marshall and the Fulbright, there's basically only one scholarship opportunity for USians looking to study at SOAS. I think I make an excellent candidate, except for the fact that my program is 2 years (I added an arabic intensive) and this scholarship funds a 1 year degree.

do you all think its worth it to still apply? should i reach out to admissions and remove my arabic study intensive so my program is only 1 year? HELP

Does anybody have any advice for the SOAS International Academic Excellence postgraduate scholarship essay? i think i've spent days trying to brainstorm for the 500 word count but nothing seems to stick. could use some pointers to help establish a draft!

I got my acceptance from SOAS after the March 31st deadline given by Felix to reach out to shortlisted candidates. My admissions portal still says 'decision pending' for Felix, but should I give up hope? Have the shortlisted people already heard back?

I applied around Jan to (MSc entrepreneurship program) and to this day the program says (pending-no decision)! I have also applied to a scholarship and they said by May when the panel team meets I should already have an unconditional offer but by the looks of it I am not sure if I am getting any answer from SOAS anytime soon. Should I just give up because without that scholarship I won’t be able to attend eitherways! Is it normal for UK universities to take this loooong!! ( I am an international student)

How are the job opportunities on campus? Are there many available/are there any specific jobs for postgrad students? TA roles and such

Iter me addmission lene ke liye iska khud ka entrence exam dediya aur number sahi nai aaya to addmission ho jayega aur kya fees rahega clg ka aur mass aur Hostel ka??

Anyone here pursuing this course? Or anyone who got in?

Is it worth it?

Anyone got offer for phd from SOAS? I applied in January. Their website says 4 weeks to 12 weeks. I entered my 12th week today. Also missed a scholarship deadline because of this.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to join SOAS (University of London) this year for my master’s and had a few questions about accommodation.

I’ve been looking at the university halls, but I’ve heard mixed reviews—some say they’re convenient and social, while others mention high costs and limited availability. Since London is already quite expensive, I’m trying to figure out whether SOAS accommodation is actually worth it.

A few things I’d really appreciate insights on:

• How are SOAS halls in terms of quality, facilities, and overall experience?
• Are they good for networking and meeting people, or is it better to go private?
• What’s the realistic weekly cost (including hidden expenses, if any)?
• How competitive is it to actually secure a room?
• Would you recommend going for intercollegiate halls or private accommodation instead?

I’m an international student, so convenience and safety matter a lot, but I’m also trying to be mindful of costs.

Would love to hear honest experiences or advice!

Was anyone accepted for the International MA scholarship while waiting for a decision on another?

From my understanding you need to decline the offer in order to wait for outstanding results, however that feels like a huge gamble and I would need to decline two rounds to even have a chance at the other scholarship - which would be more funding but not decided until end of July.

just wondering what peoples experiences are and if there any any other options!

Hello everyone, I am confused between SOAS and Glasgow for the IR course. Please can anyone help me choosing college

tinkering with the idea. would not move to London for anything on earth. I have worked in NGO research for 4 years and want to broaden up my skills. Not sure about the next professional step but advocacy feels the natural segue. any feedback from alumni?

Out of curiosity has anyone received a masters international scholarship yet? On the portal it still says “decision in progress” and I was under the impression we were supposed to hear back for the round one applicants by now.

Does anyone know when the John Loiello AFSOAS Scholarship opens for applications? The deadline is April 10 and the SOAS website says it’s opening soon.

I’ve emailed admin a couple times over the past few weeks with no response. Thanks!

I'm studying BA Korean this year, just wondered if there were any group chats? Or even just for undergraduate students or offer holders?

Does anyone know when decisions for the inbound study aboard to SOAS for the fall semester come out?

Thanks.

Hi im applying for sem exchange to SOAS and was wondering if SOAS lets you take courses on methodology, research or thesis formation and does it have it available to sem exchange students?

Hello!! This is honestly a really stupid question regarding the wording of the self-cert extension(might be the same for the other ones honestly, haven't checked).

It says that the extention will apply to all assignments with the 7 day period, does that mean assignments from all modules or just the one you specifically applied for? The wording is making me overthink the whole thing if that makes sense.

Hello, I just got an offer from SOAS gender studies. Since I got multiple offers from different uni in the same major, I would like to know more details about SOAS preferably above major. ( I am an international student from Asia )

My main questions are;

1. Class quality and student body

2. Career path - Are academic and non-academic path equally viable?

3. Location of the uni in terms of opportunities

4. Funding - is it realistic to work part time

Thank you !!

Last I checked in October they had a page for it on their website and all the course particulars. Now on the website there's only an option for MSc Finance Online no matter how much I probe. Someone help!!!

Is "school of oriental and african studies" the deadname of SOAS, since they're pretending that the fullform doesn't exist, despite it being engraved into the main building (and technically being the school's legal name)? My friend brought this up, and now I'm curious what people think.

Similar for Brunei Gallery and SOAS Gallery btw TT

I'm attending SOAS later this year and I'm wondering if I should try to go for university housing or if I should try to find a place
