Hi, I'm currently in my final year of schooling and applying to university. I'm very interested in international relations and politics, and my personal statement is tailored to it; however, I love Arabic and emphasised my love for the language in my personal statement. I have been taking Arabic lessons online for over a year in the Levant Palestinian dialect. And my Arabic tutor told me that the school in Jordan is one of the best for IR. I'm also rethinking my decision to apply for IR and politics, as they both overlap, so I wanted to hear from a current student at SOAS. How is international relations with Arabic, and how is the year abroad in Amman? I am very interested in travelling to an Arab country and hearing the language being spoken in the streets. I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a reply ASAP! as I'm finishing up my personal statement so that I can submit it.
