Hi,
I have applied and been given an offer for BA International Relations, starting Sept. 2017.
However, as I am currently having a gap year, living in China and learning Mandarin, I started to wonder whether and how it is possible for me to continue with my Mandarin studies at SOAS. I am considering to change to BA International Relations and Chinese. Is it difficult to change subject since I already have an offer? What are some students' experience with the exchange year in Beijing? Also, I looked at what is called the "Language Centre" at SOAS - does that mean I can combine one Chinese course while studying international relations? Which one of the two is the most beneficial you think?
Very much looking forward to studying at SOAS and of course to live in London!
