Social Anthropology - BA (Hons)

SOAS University of London

I think the courses and faculty are excellent, but I wish the admin worked a bit better - a lot of my experiences as a student who's unused to the UK process has been anxiety inducing.

SOAS has amazing and genuine academics - who really care about their subject, and an inspiring academic environment in the heart of London. The admin / student support could definitely be improved.

SOAS is great for meeting people from all places, most people are very friendly and the atmosphere is positive. The management aren’t great, there’s excessive security and weird limitations on protesting that I do not agree with. The Anthropology and History of Art courses are amazing and most lecturers seem to really care both about the course, and the students

I think SOAS is a great place to study because they value the opinion of all students, i feel like i can be myself here. I also think that, especially my course, has extremely qualified lecturers that really contribute to my learning and help me understand things. I don't think I have been here long enough to know how it could be improved, i love everything so far!

The professors are kind, approachable and accessible. The campus is nice and central. There's a diverse selection of modules, it is easy to find something that can suit your particular, niches academic interests. The only main problem is that terms go by pretty quickly. The terms are fairly short and most classes are only one hour long which sometimes makes it hard to keep a focus. It can just be a UK thing, but it was definitely a big difference from universities in Turkey.
