Is SOAS university good for Law?

So one of my options I applied for is SOAS for LLB LAW. Can someone tell me if this uni is good at all?

I keep searching but I get mixed reviews…

My other options are: kcl, qmul, rhul, and Greenwich

There are universities outside of London you know.

You’ve applied KCL so I am interested as to what your predicted grades are, considering your other choices?

Hello,

In general SOAS is a good university, It's small, and very research oriented, which is one of the reasons you might be getting mixed reviews. However, I think it might help to think about the type of Law you're interested in...

If your interested in law and legal systems in other countries, cultures and religions - as well as studying UK an international Law - SOAS is one of the best universities for that. Plus If your interested in a module from other University of London Law Schools (e.g. King’s College, LSE, QMUL, UCL and Birkbeck) You can discuss with the lecturers taking one of their courses.

Good Luck!

I didnt want to move out..... so all of them are in london.
my predictions are A*A*A

Yes I could have guessed that was the reason, but it is not good enough a reason if you are serious about getting a good career when you graduate.
You better hope KCL gives you an offer. How can you apply to three bad unis with those grades. You want to stay in London but haven't applied to UCL/LSE!? I am honestly flabbergasted.

Well as it’s name stated, the school has its focus on oriental and African studies so I guess if you want to do international law it’s not a bad choice, I know an upperclassman in my school who got offer from LSE(not sure if it is law or not) but chose to go to SOAS(sounds unbelievable I know), so maybe the school is not like good-for-nothing and it worths a try?( ；∀；)
Beside, I’m a bit worried…I also applied to SOAS Law LLB(tho substituted into LSE anthro and law later), and I think that I do see on their website they ask for LNAT, seems like you didn’t take it, will that be fine? (You don’t have to answer this one if you feel offended( ；´Д｀)

because both ucl and lse ask for LNAT and i barely had enough time to even prepare for it, therefore if i apply to lse, ucl and kcl all at once then i limit my chance of getting in.

there is something called aspirational choices, solid choices and safe choices. i dont know if your teachers have told you about that. but it is a clever way of picking unis to be on the safe side. both kcl and qmul are in my top choices and both are very good unis... so i really dont understand you.

secondly, why do you care? like it sounds like you are too bothered with my application sorry but... you dont need to be bothered or flabbergasted about someone who you dont know...

london has the best opportunities for law therefore i wanted to stay. and it is a good reason to stay .. you dont need to worry about me i thought about this for a long time...okay?

thanks

Yeah I can sense the London attitude here lmao.
there is something called aspirational choices, solid choices and safe choices. You won't see many people on here with predicted grades of A*A*A applying for only one good uni. Don't listen to your teachers they are clueless. You've literally got the predicted grades for KCL so that is not an aspirational choice - it is a competitive university for law - but an aspirational choice is where you are a few grades below the university you want, but apply anyway.
london has the best opportunities for law therefore i wanted to stay. and it is a good reason to stay. You really are clueless and I am trying to help. How does staying in London confer any advantage at all. You really think going to Greenwich university increases your chances of securing a TC just because it is in London? Absolute nonsense.
secondly, why do you care. You have come on here asking for advice and I am giving it to you. What a stupid thing to say. SOAS is not a good uni and you are better than them.

Is SOAS really bad for law llb?..

I wouldn’t say ‘really bad’. Although I am of the opinion that if the uni was based outside of London - it would be viewed in the same way Man Met and Leeds Beckett are viewed.
I see they still require the LNAT as well which is hilarious - that alone would put me off applying.
