Marketing: If you haven't taken it yet, I recommend taking it in London. The professor is very engaging, and the class is structured in different segments, which makes it a little bit easier to maintain your attention span in a 3-hour class. It is very project based, and other than that, there is little homework other than reading chapters from the book plus a few extraneous assignments that do not take a long time. It is not a blow-off class, but definitely not as challenging as others in London.
International Economics: This class highly depends on your teacher. John Mark's class if very theory-based, while Saraswati uses a lot of real-world application and is a much easier grader. The class is very challenging, and I am taking it to fulfill a requirement in my major. It's pretty challenging though.
World Politics: Only available for BPE students, the class goes in depth into theories of international relations, as well as exploring more fringe theories. Professor Clive Gabay is also doing research on sub-Saharan Africa, which gives an interesting viewpoint compared to typical classes taught from a more Western lens.
African Language Literatures: Students studying in London in the fall have the option of taking a few Africana studies classes at the School of Oriental and Africana Studies at the University of London, the world's best school in these subject areas. I highly recommend it, as it gives you a more immersive study abroad experience and allows you to meet real British students. The subject area is also extremely interesting. I am in the African Language Literatures class, which explores the cultural context of different African languages and the literatures that use them. Each week, we study a different area, and have a guest lecturer who is an expert in his or her area of study. The professor is also very chill; but, the classes there are very reading-intensive and your entire grade is based upon one final paper. However, If you can fit it in, I definitely recommend taking a SOAS class.
