Exeter, Edinburgh, or SOAS (for middle east politics/international relations)

Hey, I've been accepted to study my masters in Exeter (MA international relations of the middle east), Edinburgh (MSc international relations of the middle east), and SOAS (MSc in middle east politics)

Before being accepted I was really keen on Edinburgh but now I'm not so sure. Thoughts?

Which course do you prefer in terms of course content?
Where do the teaching staff have personal research interests similar to yours?

This is a very personal decision but at postgrad level you should be looking firmly at academic issues above all else.

Thank you for replying!

I did look at the staff and their research as well as the course structure but I'm still having second thoughts. Anyway thanks for helping. :smile:

I am applying to the same programs and not sure which I would choose. What did you go for in the end? and based on which factors did you make your decision?
