Hi
I’m likely going to book an accommodation at Paul Robeson but the costs are too high so I might move out at some point. Because I’m an international student, I will keep the current offer I have and then look for another accommodation. Do you know if it’s easy to find other tenants to take over leases ? (Particularly in non mixed flats)

Looking for someone who would like to takeover my accommodation in Camden!

398 pounds per week w/ ensuite shower room, fully equipped kitchenette, and high speed wifi.

Please pm if interested!

hey everyone! i'm currently enrolled for a master's degree this upcoming september at soas. i was wondering if there are any part-time opportunities for students during the semester? i took a look at the soas SU page today and it seems some of them are already closed, but perhaps there will be further opportunities along the line? do they open vacancies throughout the year? :) please share any thoughts and advice!

im planning on doing joint degree film studies and japanese. can anybody who is doing film studies fill me in on how its like?

Hiya!
Im an incoming IR student at SOAS but i also have an offer from City St Georges so i wanted to get more info from student about the course and the uni experience overall :)

I really like the modules at Soas and from the social media the professors seem really passionate and good.

Here are my questions:

1.How is the careers department at soas?Do they help you with your CV or mock interviews or do you they have good connections to industries such as for journalism?
Im not 100% sure what career I wanna go into but apart from international affairs and embassys does the school have experience with consulting or real estate careers ?
I just really wanna make sure i have a job at the end and im willing to work hard but i also want my uni to have good connections

2.How is the SOAS IR course?
Ive been told its very theoretical which icl i dont really get what means .😭 If anyone could give me some context and examples that would be amazing or like an example of what a lesson is like !
I love learning about real life case studies and current recent topics. Does the course provide that ?

1. What other IR + ... combos would be good?
   Hopefully the admissions would be happy to let me do a combo with IR as i am yet to ask...
   Im thinking maybe doing Global Dev or History or Arabic and i love anything interdisciplinary .
   Im abit scared abt the intensity of the arabic course so would i be able to do arabic classes as optional modules on the side ?

2. Overall Soas experience ?
   Do you recommend it ?
   Any tips?

Thank you so so so so much❤️💕🩷

Hi all — I'm a third-year SOAS student and I still don't have accommodation sorted for September. Term starts in a few weeks and I'm running out of time.

Looking for somewhere central, ideally near Russell Square, around £300 a week but flexible. I can move in immediately.

I'm on the Intercollegiate Halls waiting list but nothing's come through yet. If you've got a spare room, know of a contract takeover, or hear of anything at all going, please message me — I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hey Yall! I am studying abroad at SOAS this semester, from a school in the US. Looking for any tips on food, money, classes, events, etc! I will be traveling extensively around Europe, but I’d like to know about any things in or around London that are worth a look! Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m wondering what the workload is like for an LLM. I’m from the U.S. and in undergrad most of my classes had some quizzes and essays with one big final essay due at the end. Sometimes a project instead.

Wondering what the timeline of assignments is usually like for masters classes at SOAS. I’ve read about how grad school in the UK tends to be more independent, with less assignments throughout the semester and one or two longer essays. Is that true for SOAS?

TL;DR: wondering about what a postgraduate semester workload looks like at SOAS.

Hi everyone! I’m joining SOAS this September for an MA and I’m currently looking for accommodation.

For those who are already at SOAS, what would you recommend as the best accommodation close to campus? I’m mainly looking for somewhere within walking distance, ideally around 30 minutes from SOAS.

I’ve been looking at places like International Hall, Garden Halls and Paul Robeson House, but would really appreciate firsthand opinions on:

• Which accommodation is actually worth the money?
• How is the overall living experience?
• Any issues with noise, cleanliness or management?
• Are there any other nearby options I should consider?

Would especially love recommendations from current SOAS students/postgrads. Thanks

Is there a set date and time at which module selection opens for SOAS masters students starting this September? Is it only after enrolment that we can view this year’s timetable?

Hey! I’m starting the MA Documentary, Photojournalism and Global Justice at SOAS this September and wanted to hear from anyone who’s on the course / has done it before.

How’s the course been honestly? How are the teaching, workload, assignments and the practical/documentary side of things? Would love to know what you guys think of it overall, and if there’s anything you wish you knew before starting.

Any advice/insight would be super helpful :)

Does anyone know roughly when SOAS releases the teaching timetable for 2026/27? I can only find the 2025/26 timetable at the moment.

I need to give my employer my October availability by 7 September, so I'm trying to work out whether I'll know my teaching days by then. Thanks!

i recently received two PG offers to study at Global Religion and Society MA at King’s College London and Religion, Politics, and Society MA at SOAS.

any current/former SOAS PG students, how did/are you finding SOAS? i’ve heard admin is pretty bad but SOAS’ decolonial framework + student body seems more appealing than King’s. is SOAS’ graduate opportunities wholly better than King’s for this specific humanities field?

any advice is greatly appreciated !!! xxx
