Hello everyone!!
I am an Indian student doing my bachelors. I want to pursue gender studies from UK. I have already applied and received offer letters. My final two options are Sussex and SOAS. I am confused between the two. Which one is better in terms of academics and job prospects?

Hi there,

Both Sussex and SOAS are well respected: Your future job prospects are more likely to depend on your hard work and who you are as a person.

What might be worth thinking about is which university would be more suited to you.
Sussex is large but being in the countryside can make it quiet and tranquil to study there (although the seagulls make a noise), and Brighton is a quick train journey with lots to do in the evenings.
SOAS is quite a small university which some people find nice. SOAS is bang in the middle of London so while there will always be plenty to do, if you don't like busy cities, you may find it a noisy place to live.
