Not really!

A student like him would not get into Oxbridge, LSE and Imperial.

And prior to meeting him on TSR, I never believed a student like him can get into the next tier of top universities like UCL, KCL, Durham, Warwick etc because I believed those universities were quite selective. But he claims to be in Warwick to my utter shock.

This is not about articulation, it is about basic reasoning. The guy is thinker than Rodney from Only Fools and Horses.

What most of you TSR kids don't understand is that the world is not only about finance. KCL kills Warwick in most other areas of employment and has a higher average salary on average, as well as higher employment figures. The last 10 years of flash from Warwick is not a basis to be laying claims of superiority or greatness. and its reputation is not as strong as KCL anywhere outside UK.

I honestly dont think there is a difference in terms of employabilty between Pol/ IR and PPE (and I'm not trying to be biased or anything as I'm doing an IR degree. What matters more is getting a 2:1 at least and getting work experience. So I'd go for the course you prefer the most.

Switching will depend on if there are places available, you need to contact the admissions for Politics at Manchester.

Is it £9.8k or £23.6k?

Thanks, that's really helpful. I've got 3 months to fill post-exams and I thought I may as well put it to good use. Will look into those on Amazon

Oh, re The Globalization... how essential is getting the latest edition? The newest is about £10 more expensive; is it worth it for the ultra-up-to-date examples, or is the theory essentially the same?

I've got 2 conditionals from Napier and Stirling but really unsure where I want to go....:/

Any updates?
After a rejection from Edinburgh and a rejection from Dundee I was feeling pretty rubbish but now got 3 conditionals for Aberdeen! Which was my first choice so yayy!
Now just need to choose between
IR and Politics
IR and Legal Studies
IR and Divinity

Any advice of which one I should pick would be greatly appreciated x

My conditions for all of the courses are 3 Bs at Higher or 2Bs at Higher and a B in an Advanced Higher

Hi there!
Im quite biased in my comment because I've been in love with esps from day 1. I don't think any course offers its opportunities.
2.Espsoffers a lot more variety as well which in my case is a very big deciding factor.
3.lindon is an expensive city, top 10 in the world, but there are many students living here, proof that its possible to still manage :)
4. I quite like the city life, it never gets boring and you can try new things whenever you want and can escape quite easily to the greater London country if need be.
5. The financial situation is up to you to decide... Rooming in London is quite expensive but then again, it's probably one of the best, if not the best city in the world.
6. Depends where you would like to live in the future. London and ucl can get you many connections --as I. Sure endinburough can as well, but there are many more people to meet in lLondon

anyway, I'm biased towards esps because I think it's
perfect but you shouldnconsider what you want to get out of your uni experience above all else. :)
hope this helped

but does social policy also look at the different views and perspectives on these policies?

Thank you for replying.

I had a look at module description from both unis. Both offer really nice interesting modules (Durham has a bit more modules though). The main difference is that Durham has a range of modules about the Middle East, while Warwick has only one in the third year. I kinda like Warwick a bit more, but can't help wonder whether it is the right choice.

Regarding language, I think I will choose non-credit modules just in case I fails miserably.

Also, Durham is quite far from London. That's not really convenient when travelling from Heathrow. (I am an international student)

I am going to put Sussex as insurance choice any way since its offer is lower than my other choices. Should be a nice place to go if I miss the firm place.

This is to anyone who has studied/is studying Politics and IR:

How interesting have you found the degree (most/least interesting module)?
Was it worthwhile?
What are you considering to do after you graduate?
How many essays to you get on average per month?

These are probably really vague questions, but i just want some feedback before i (hopefully) start studying it in September. :)

Hello!
I'm thinking of applying for a Politics based degree next year (preferable IR/Politics).

I'm wondering if it would be right to mention any of these things on my personal statement as extra-curricular. :)

-EU Mock Council participation

-LSE yr12 Political Conference attended (Begged my teacher, despite being in yr11 at the time)

-Working for MP during Summer

-UCL summer school challenge participation (Riots, rebellions and Political change)

-Extended project (looking at Genocides)

-Local political participation (canvassing etc)

-Reading books such as Plato's 'The Republic' and Monbiot's 'The age of Consent'

Is there anything here in particular that would hold well at Univerisites like Bristol?

Thank you for any help given! :D
