I'm hoping to do BA Geography-you? I need AAB but think it's more likely I'll get ABB! Where are you from?

I have conditional offer for War Studies & Philosophy, but I need to get 38 IB. 4 exams down, 4 more to go, but 38 is looking pretty daunting. I'm in California.

Also, can one apply for other courses at Kings through extra just in case even if one has an offer for another course from them?

Wow you're already halfway through your exams-I haven't even started! Sorry I have no idea-look it up on the UCAS website or phone them to find out

No, you would have to decline your offer to do that. Furthermore, it's probably unlikely they'll give you a lower offer for, say, single honours Philosophy.

So do you think that one's requirements for all the courses at Kings would be the same? (for me, 38 IB) I guess that makes sense, but wouldn't less competitive courses or the ones on Extra that they are almost asking people to apply to have lower requirements so that they could let more people on (more money)? But you can only apply to one course per uni then?

To be eligible for Extra, you can't hold any offers from any Uni!
And they certainly don't take everyone for courses that are available in Extra - if they did that, the quality of applicants would decrease drastically. Being in Extra doesn't mean "No one wants us, we're needy now" :woo:

I'm not just saying that because they accepted me :P

Oh I see! Please forgive my ignorance, being an international applicant I'm not very familiar with how UCAS/Extra works (obviously)...so thanks for clearing things up for me!

Thanks.

The general offer was AAB for PIE and IP, and I'm pretty sure virtually everyone was asked AAB, I'm yet to see anyone who has been given an AAA offer. Maybe I'm blind though..

The reason the tutors said this was (at the post-offer open day) was because with fees going up, they didn't expect to be getting as many candidates applying, that and the rearranging of the department. I heard that they were originally considering AAA or A*AA, however they decided on AAB.. bloody lucky, as I'm predicted AAB and have an offer for just that for PIE. Do you have an offer?

I have an offer for English Lit at Kings but for a number of reasons, I now want to study politics instead. I'm very late to try and swap, and I doubt they'll have any space for me. Unless due to the creation of the PIE, they have less on the IP course.I just wanted to check the offer wasn't higher than my AAA offer for English before getting in touch and seeing what the situation is.
Thanks for the info.

Oh, I meant offers just for PIE and IP, not just offers in general to King's - us politics students have been given a bit of a bargain offer I reckon.

As they're two completely different departments it may be quite difficult.. perhaps you should ask when you've got your grades and have a 100% guaranteed place, because I'm sure they'll be very accommodating then. I'm sure if you badger the politics department enough you'll be let on, and even if you aren't, it's likely that you'll be able to take one or two politics modules in your first year and then be eligible for transfer in your second.. worth a shot, right?

So why apply for English if you want to study politics?! silly!

I've received a MA offer from King's Department of War Studies and a MSc offer from UCL's Department of Political Science.

Can anyone comment on which department is better? I.e. might offer better career prospects? (Prestige opening doors etc.)

I know UCL does better in the overall rankings but I've heard King's is very well known for this department. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Might I ask why?

(Quite curious someone who fled the social sciences for letters. :smile:

I can't help but feel that there is more practical politics in 'the state of Denmark' or on Tacitus's tongue than in the thorough surveys of theoreticians. )

I have applied to Cultural & Creative Industries at KCL almost a month ago, and just got an offer from Goldsmiths for Arts Administration & Cultural Policy!
I was hoping for KCL but not quite sure which one would be the best option for me..

OOH my mum is from turkey and called AYLIN what a coincidence :P Im going to kings this year, it is a world renowned place of study, and although its stupid logic, a UK London university may be better viewed than many other worldwide uni's, but obviously go where your heart is set
