I would go for KCL as it has a fantastic Politics department. Are you home or international?

I guess it depends on which course you prefer. Have you visited them both? I would go with your gut as they are both great unis.

Hi, congrats on getting offers from all three, they are all great universities! My advice would be to look through the course content for each university carefully, you might find one has more classes that interest you! Also think about what kind of university experience would you like, they are all central London but UCL and KCL are both much larger than SOAS. I love SOAS because it takes a specifically postcolonial approach to International relations where you can study the politics of different regions of the world from their own accounts. My favorite course of my degree has been ' Conflict, Rights and Justice'. I also like how small SOAS is, it has everything you need but a small community so its easy to make friends and actually get to know your professors. Additionally you can study interesting languages as open options, I've taken Japanese and Korean! Have a look at the degree page here for more info: https://www.soas.ac.uk/study/find-course/ba-politics-and-international-relations
