UCL or SOAS - Masters

Hi! So I’m contemplating between these uni choices for Masters.

Development Studies at SOAS or
Development Administration and Planning at UCL. I’m super confused between the two.

The programme at SOAS seems much better but UCL is overall ranked higher. I want to get the best possible experience education wise and for future job prospects. Please help!!

SOAS has a strong reputation in the area of development studies, and its program may be more specialised and focused. If you prefer the programme and its curriculum, I think you might get a better educational experience here. I can't really give you insights about the job prospects, it depends on the area you would like to work in.

Hang on! If you check the specific ranking by subject (Development Studies), the QS ranking actually shows this:

1. Sussex
2. SOAS 👈
3. LSE
4. Oxford
5. Harvard
6. Cambridge
7. Manchester
