Re: Politics/IR/Government Applicant Stalking Page 2012Out of interest, why is the course so good? I didn't really do masses of research on the course and just applied there because I didn't know what else to put so I would be interested to hear your opinion on it.(Original post by judhika)

Re: Politics/IR/Government Applicant Stalking Page 2012See I mainly love the university, and the location of the campus. Also the course covers a wide range of topics and so give you a good base for like a future political career. Also I really want to work for maybe like Defence LOL so they have special links with them and stuff woo! Doubt i'll get in its super competitive!(Original post by strawberryjellybaby)

Re: Politics/IR/Government Applicant Stalking Page 2012That's good to know, I have an offer but I'm really into political philosophy at the moment and the course doesn't seem to have any focus on that really. Do you have a link to a list of topics or something because I'm finding it difficult to find out about it.(Original post by judhika)

My first choice is Cambridge, though my more realistic second choice is Durham. Apparently the Durham department is really good for Politics. For me, I don't to leave London, although i've applied to Nottingham and Leicester, and Leicester may be my back p
