QMUL vs SOAS

hey guys i've gotten offers back from both of these unis for international relations but i'm struggling to choose which one to firm. any advice would be very much appreciated 🙏
Honestly, whichever one you prefer. When it comes to university degree, the biggest predictor for graduate success is your degree classification, not where you studied, so go wherever you'll be happier - that's where you'll do best in your degree!

Hi I'm a final year International Relations and Arabic student at SOAS. I remember being in the same position 4 years ago deciding between QMUL and SOAS. I chose SOAS in the end because it gave me the chance to study international politics and foreign policies of different countries of the world. Some of my favourite modules I studied at SOAS have been Introduction into the Middle East, Palestine/Israel, International Conflicts, Rights & Justice and International Institutions. The majority of assessments are essay based and professors are also extremely engaging, sharing insights into their latest research, the current affairs and they continuously offered us support in their drop in hours.

Hope this helps & good luck in deciding!
