SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Overall Rating

A waste of your time and money

A totally underwhelming experience - its states it as a taught course, but there was no online lectures or interaction from any of the tutors. The method of teaching was "go and read these articles and write on the forum wall about them". This was made worse that all of the articles given were outdated - the latest piece of literature was 2012, and a lot of the literature was over 15 years old. This on a topic that has evolved dramatically in the last 5 years, let the last decade. Your money would be better spent on researching the issues yourself, as that is what you will have to do anyway to keep up to date and write a decent capstone essay.

Job Prospects

I would not rate this course

Student Support

No student support - the staff are not accessible and there are no contact numbers for anyone to help in student enquiries.
