BA History
Hi!! I do a combined degree at SOAS- BA History and Politics. It’s a London university so I get to commute from home :)
I’ve learnt to love coffee to survive the busyness of central London and ofc uni coursework. I have my trusty cat Minnie for emotional support.
Fair warning: for most people A- Levels will be the hardest thing you ever do. So if you’ve gotten through it, congratulations 🌝❤️

Hi guys,
I'm currently in my fourth year studying Arabic and Economics and I’ve just returned from an incredible year abroad in Jordan.
Over the past few years, I’ve completed internships across various sectors and developed a strong interest in the MENA region, particularly in the areas of diplomacy and international student recruitment.
I'm also passionate about widening participation and social mobility, and I’m keen to work on projects or initiatives that support access to education and opportunity—especially for underrepresented communities!

Melina
SOAS
Law LLB
Hi, I'm Melina! A third-year LLB Law student at SOAS university and aspiring solicitor. I've had the opportunity to engage with young people, learn about their aspirations, and support them through their difficulties in the past, and firmly believe prospective students should have easy access to the information they need to make life-changing decisions, such as choosing the right university. That's why I'm excited to be part of this platform, where I can provide honest insights about the law program, the workload, exams, and even the overall environment and culture at SOAS. Whether you're feeling uncertain about your course or just curious about university life, I'd love to share my experiences and help make things a little clearer for you.

Hi, I’m Mohammad, an undergraduate student studying Business, Management, Economics & Law at SOAS!

I have a particular interest in behavioral economics and enjoy exploring how psychology influences decision-making. Outside of my studies, I love playing football and cooking, which helps me unwind and connect with others.

Nadim
SOAS
Law LLB
Hey all - My name is Nadim, and I'm an LLB Law finalist (Undergrad).
Hobbies aside, I intend to eventually qualify under the SRA through the SQE down the line as an Employment Solicitor (or in insolvency/debt recovery), but plan to take a gap to gather some Legal work experience. Speaking of... the SOAS Legal clinic, Law society, and careers team have been incredible in helping me secure some Legal volunteering experience!
As a final year, I'd definitely recommend that you put yourself out there by applying to Campus Rep jobs/on-campus promotional positions, society committees, volunteering opportunities etc., even if you're not the most social person; trust me, it'll be fun and worth it, you'll make friends with great people you'd otherwise never have met. That, and it's always nice to have some money in your pocket.
Shout out to upReach, AspiringSolicitors, Bright Network and FutureCityLawyers!
P.s. Also a transferee (transferred from another University in London to SOAS), so please, don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries relating as such (or anything relevant to the above).
