I got an offer to from SOAS to do my MA in international studies and diplomacy and I really want to go for it, but I am a bit worried that going to SOAS will be all work and no play. I have also gotten an offer from Leeds to do an MA in international studies, and I would like to accept the offer, but am afraid that there wont be a hint of diplomacy in it, which will decrease my chances at working in foreign affairs. Please, i would like to know what the difference is between the courses.

I really advice you to go for SOAS.It is one on the top unis in the uk.Leed is the 41st in the gardian top universities but SOAS is one of the top 5.

If you're worried about the diplomacy content then go to SOAS. I know people who've done undergrad there and they worked hard but still had plenty of fun! I realise an MA will be harder but if it's the course you want then I think you'd regret not doing it.. Also would being based in London be helpful for making contacts etc? I don't know, just a thought..
