Religion Politics and Society at King's College?

Hello!
I applied to King's for their PPL course and was rejected, however they have transferred my application based on my personal statement to a BA in religion politics and society.
I have looked at the modules and would be very interested in doing this degree, however I was just wondering if anyone could answer any of these questions:
1) Is this degree likely to get me anywhere in terms of employment? Or would it be considered as too 'soft'?
2) Does the fact that the degree is from a somewhat prestigious uni make employability prospect better regardless of what subject it is in?
3) I have offers for Law from Exeter, Manchester and Bristol and was wondering whether it would be worth abandoning these in favour of King's? (Obviously a matter of opinion but I just wanted to weigh things up)

Also, I am somewhat sceptical of the reputation of this course given that I cannot find much information about it, and it's required grades are AAB (somewhat lower than my offers from other unis). Am I right to be sceptical or would this be a good opportunity to take?

I'll be more than grateful if anyone can give me any advice :smile:

I'm sorry. I don't think I could be of any help, coz I'm just self-teaching AS, I don't know about these uni, and that's definitely not my field. I'm sorry again.

I would say stick to kings because I heard brilliant things about the uni. Also, the whole subject being "too soft" to get a job thing is a myth- There is no such thing. I used to think my subject (media studies) was "too soft" but then I found out the amount of jobs I am open up to after I graduate is so much and unlimited :smile:

I would call up kings college and then ask about what jobs you are looking into after you graduate. I would say if you enjoy the course then go ahead and do it. I have heard of many people going to different feilds related to their degree i.e politics students getting jobs in IT for example.

So I would definately call up kings since the uni is good and you like the course and find out more about it. Hope this helps

Hi,

I applied to universities in 2011 to study theology, I missed out on an offer from Oxford but got Bristol, Durham, Exeter and Nottingham. I went to Bristol but found hard theology too prescriptive so left after the first them.

I found PRE at King's which seemed unique in offering flexibility in module choices as well as assessment methods. I took lectures in other departments including philosophy and got a first overall. I also did the AKC which meant I did law, music and psychiatry modules as well as getting an extra qualification.

After I left went travelling then got a job at a top technology company within a month of searching. I left after a year for a training contract at a magic circle law firm.

Obviously I am biased but would say great course, good uni (plus easier to get work experience in london) and no problem with career choice. Doing such a broad degree means you can bend your CV in anyway you like.

Hope that helps !
