Hi, I'm Ahmed!
I’m a second-year BSc Accounting and Finance student at SOAS. I chose SOAS because of its unique global perspective, diverse community, and strong emphasis on understanding finance in an international and real-world context. The course is both challenging and rewarding, offering a great mix of technical skills and critical thinking.
Beyond my studies, I have a strong background in teaching and mentoring. I’ve spent the past three years leading the 11 Plus department at a tuition center, successfully guiding students through their exams. This experience has strengthened my communication and leadership skills, which I now bring into my university life.
I’m passionate about exploring the intersections of finance, business, and global development, and I hope to qualify as a Chartered Accountant in the future. Outside of academics, I enjoy engaging in student-led initiatives and networking with like-minded individuals.
If you have any questions about studying Accounting and Finance at SOAS, student life, or anything else, feel free to reach out I’d love to help!

War Studies and History
I come from the Home Counties, in England, having gone to a state school in Hertfordshire. Though my passions are primarily in the field of history, particularly to do with Luxembourg and Finland, though I do also enjoy wargaming and walking as well.
My plans for the future are probably going to be something to do with policing, teaching or public policy related.

I know I’ve always wanted to do a job that required me around children and as I did some work experience in a school, I realised how much I love teaching and the profession as a whole. I can’t wait to become a primary school teacher and hopefully be able to work in a SEND school.

I am currently pursuing this passion through the MSc Public Health programme at the University of Northampton. The university has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to design, implement, as well as evaluate policies and interventions that can improve maternal and child health outcomes at population levels.

Starting university is a big step in life, so I'm always happy to answer questions about uni life, workload, life in london or settling in. No question is too small!
