Hello,

I hope you are well.

There may be an error in your application so it is worth reaching out to the Admissions Team to get this sorted. Don't worry it can be sorted quite easily if you have all your documents ready. In your email, outline the issue and include your UCAS number as this makes it easier for the team to identify your application and respond more swiftly.

If you are applying for an Undergraduate course you can email: [email protected].

If you are applying for a Postgraduate course please contact: [email protected].


I hope this helps, let me know if I can help out with anything else!

Happy holidays 🙂

They probably classified you wrong based on your nationality rather than country of residence. They did the same for me.

You'll need to get in touch with them and they'll send you a fee assessment questionnaire to complete, and then they will be able to re-issue your offer as a UK/home fees student, assuming you meet all the residency requirements in view of your visa to remain in the UK (I assume you have indefinite leave to remain like I did).

Note SOAS are incredibly slow doing this so I would anticipate about a month to hear back (chase them after 2 weeks though to make sure it's not fallen through the net) and then a month for them to process it and update the offer (again prompt them after 2 weeks).
