Hey! I'm seriously confused about this course. I have an offer for War Studies but I think it is probably way too theory based for me, plus I want to study politics in a wider context rather than just war. Thinking of switching to IP, how much current affairs is involved in it? For example, the International Relations course at LSE is pretty much my idea of perfect (but I didn't get an offer, and wouldn't want to be at LSE anyway):
The Arab-Israeli Conflict: Nationalism, Territory, Religion
The International History of the Cold War, 1945-1975
The Cold War and European Integration, 1947-1992
This kind of stuff as well as Globalization, political ideologies, the war in Iraq etc. is what I am really interested in, is there scope for me to study this under IP?
Am I too late to switch?
I am in Australia right now for another three weeks which is so f-ing annoying because I really just want to go to London right now and ask someone! And it meant that I couldn't go to any of the open days
Thanks! If anyone else can answer these questions please do!
