Statement of purpose
My name is Isimbi Queen Carmella, currently in Riviera High school Rwanda-Kigali What I liked about my experience in education is that it opened my eyes to the real world, I knew a few things but education enhanced my level of thinking. However, nothing can be really improved, I never had a challenge In a nutshell, my overall study experience was a successful experience, all goals were achieved!
My Academic Journey
My undergraduate experience was a period of disciplined growth, intellectual curiosity, and practical leadership. Throughout my studies, I developed a strong foundation in critical thinking, research, and communication. The academic environment required consistent engagement with complex ideas, which sharpened my ability to analyze issues from multiple perspectives and communicate solutions clearly. Beyond coursework, I actively participated in collaborative learning and leadership opportunities. Working with diverse peers strengthened my interpersonal skills and taught me how to guide discussions, resolve challenges, and coordinate group initiatives. These experiences were particularly valuable in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world situations My academic journey also deepened my commitment to service-oriented leadership. I became increasingly interested in how education, ethical leadership, and innovation can influence communities and organizations in meaningful ways. This perspective encouraged me to pursue continuous learning and to seek advanced training that can expand both my strategic thinking and practical impact. Overall, my bachelor’s degree experience shaped my intellectual discipline, strengthened my leadership capacity, and clarified my long-term goals. It provided a solid academic and professional foundation while also revealing areas where deeper specialization is necessary. For this reason, I am motivated to pursue graduate-level study, where I can further refine my analytical abilities, expand my global perspective, and contribute more effectively to complex organizational and societal challenges.

I am currently study in Nepal and i am planning to study further in abroad.

It has everything you need – including the warm atmosphere the students tell us makes SOAS feel like a home away from home.
Sports facilities
Whether you're looking to play sports competitively or just for fun, you can join SU sports teams, access University of London clubs, and enjoy the convenience of Bloomsbury Fitness Gym—right around the corner from campus.
Student clubs
The Students' Union is here to support you to make your time at SOAS the best it can be - as part of a welcoming, inclusive and active student community.
When you start at SOAS, you automatically become a member of the Students' Union (SU), and it’s completely free.
We have a range of dedicated community spaces for SOAS students to meet and unwind on campus, including the Junior Common Room (JCR), a vibrant and welcoming area for all students to enjoy society meet-ups, study breaks, lively discussion, sports screenings, music and more.
