Architecture postgraduate degrees in All England

I want to study emerging economies and learn languages and it’s easily one of the best places in the world for that. There really is a global focus. The library is amazing. It really punches above its weight in terms of the staff and resources you get access to. The location is amazing. Bloomsbury is so nice. Russel Square is the loveliest park ever, It’s a small campus uni but we get access to all of london around us so it doesn’t feel small at all. People at SOAS are very nice, but not necessarily as outgoing as other unis. But you’re in london so you don’t really have to worry about that to be honest: If you don’t make many friends here, there’s many other unis nearby. However I will say that it’s definitely not very diverse in terms of politics. Most people here are extremely left wing and students and staff don’t respond very well to dissenting ideas. Even though it’s very ethnically diverse, most students have extremely similar worldviews and ways of approaching things, which isn’t ideal for intellectual exploration.

Best aspects: Good location towards city centre, quality food, many diverse and organized events for me to choose, different useful facilities and student support services Worst aspects: Lack of advertising in student support services

The careers team is amazing at posting job listings. They are so proactive in getting you the right support and I love that about them. And I think the structure of some teaching material could be improved with bringing the right balance of AI into studies

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

It might not be university specific, but the difficulties in commuting has a big impact. The university has been negotiating with the first bus, however, the busses are always full because of sudden cancellations. Since university is at the top of the hill, I would hope this to be improved significantly so I wouldn’t have to walk up or take an uber up which makes me too tiring to concentrate on lectures.

I’ve just moved but I appreciate the small class sizes and I feel there is really strong student supports. The campus buildings can feel a bit old and outdated but the workshop facilities look amazing.

The campus is beautiful and the location is very appealing. The best aspect of my uni experience is the study abroad programme where uni gave me the opportunity to go to other countries I never thought I’d go to and experience their culture, norms, values and of course try to new traditional food. This helped me grow in confidence as it push me out of my comfort zone. Uni could be improved if it had more work experience opportunities related to the degree I am studying

This has been a wonderful university experience for me. I've heard that this university is highly effective for both students and teachers, and I truly feel that I have benefited greatly from my time here. After nearly ten months of study, I have gained valuable experience and genuinely appreciate the supportive environment. I am very happy to be part of this university community, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this caring culture. Thank you to my university for giving me this chance to grow and learn in such a warm and welcoming place.

Best - so much engagement, I love how accessible sport is but there’s also so much going on! The student newsletters are useful and they update ongoing events on social media frequently. There’s lots of study spaces around campus as well!
