History and Chinese - which uni?

•

One of the best for East Asian Studies – If you’re serious about Chinese, SOAS is one of the top places in the UK for it. It’s super specialised in non-Western subjects, and the lecturers actually focus on China and East Asia, rather than it just being a small part of a general history degree.

•

History at SOAS – If you’re into global history, especially beyond Europe, SOAS is a solid choice. It’s not as high-ranked overall as places like Durham or Exeter, but it excels in non-Eurocentric history. So, if you’re looking for China-focused history, you’d probably get a better experience here than in a standard history degree.

•

Year Abroad – The year abroad at SOAS is at an external partner universities in China, I went on my year abroad for my Arabic degree and loved it

•

London Factor – Yeah, London is pricey, but the opportunities here are next level. You’ll have tons of language events, internships, and networking opportunities that you just wouldn’t get elsewhere. If you’re thinking long-term about careers in translation, international affairs, or anything China-related, being in London is a big plus.
