Hi I know this is really late and you've probably already started university but just in case someone else is in the same predicament as you... I had a choice of two universities, either study social policy at the LSE or study international politics at King's College. In the end I asked myself what am I actually interested in and I realised that I was more interested in studying issues that people face on a daily basis such as homelessness, poverty, and so on . To be fair there is overlap between social policy and politics For example in my second year I learnt about political theories and political philosophers and applied them to the area of social policy. Both courses would offer the same job prospects and both are good universities . When I chose Social Policy I never looked back. While studying this I urge you take the time to learn research methods because this will help you a lot after graduating . Any questions feel free to email.
