Transferring to SOAS after doing foundation year at another uni
I had applied and gotten an offer from SOAS for management with a foundation year but i didn’t make my grades. I did get accepted to university of kent but for International Relations and Politics with a foundation year. I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer into SOAS for year one in either management or IR and Politics as kent does not have the array of language options like SOAS does. If i apply to go in first year after my foundation year, will it be likely that I have to apply with my alevel grades as well?

Hi,
I hope you are well! 🙂
International Relations and Politics sounds really interesting! However, I am sorry that Kent does not have the array if language options that you are after. I can't comment on your exact situation, but would encourage you to contact the Kent Admissions team for further information on changing universities/degrees, as choosing the right course for you is really important. As for SOAS, I can't comment either, but would encourage you to get in touch with their admissions team too.
Information for Admissions at Kent can be found here:

The Future Student team deals with all undergraduate and postgraduate applications to the university, for UK, EU and international students.
I hope this helps!🙂
Please do let me know if you have any other questions!
Best wishes,

Yes, it is possible to transfer to SOAS after completing a foundation year at another university, but the specific requirements will depend on SOAS’s transfer policies. When applying for first-year entry after your foundation year, SOAS will likely consider both your foundation year results and A-Level grades.
I cant provide you with any specific information regarding our transfer policies although I recommend reaching out to our admissions team at +44 (0)20 3510 6974 or emailing us at [email protected] to ask about transfer requirements and how your foundation year at Kent will be assessed.
Highlight your interest in the language options at SOAS and how our programs align better with your academic goals. This shows commitment and can strengthen your application.
Good luck!
