Political science and IR society

I think this is a good idea. If you'll have me, that is! I'm not at uni but will definitely be a politics applicant this year :redface:

Of course we'd have you Vesta! :hugs:

Yay

I think it would be cool, and it can be anything from applicant questions to uni students discussing exams etc. Would certainly liven up this forum! :p:

(although if it got too spammy they'd probably move it to soc chat)

Yes i know, I decided at the beginning of yr 12 that i was planning on studying Politics. And i actually think you should do your research, A Politics A-Level is not required. Got onto the Bristol website Politics or History as an Advantage. Anyway i was planning on doing a Politics AS Level next year.. ah well. Do you want to do Politics? :smile:

Yep, as Ilex said :smile:

I'm trying to find some more ABB ones though, the only ones I can think of are Manchester, UCL (& eastern european studies), Birmingham I think, Exeter is AAB-ABB :s-smilie:

Providing I do well this summer, I want a mix of AAB and ABB universities, with maybe or two AAA ones. :redface:

Try Essex. They're fantastic for politics and although the guide says their standard offer is AAB that's rubbish - I seem to recall being offered BBC three years ago. :smile:

Sounds good. Very little of the discussion around here at present is actually about political studies or science at all. Bearing in mind I'm a Political Studies student not Science, the latter being a mainly positivist course. The same will apply to most of us since there are far more places teaching Political Studies than Political Science. It needs to encompass both theoretical and scientific forms of Politics, but in an academic form, rather than the usual uninformed college-level stuff that goes on in here.
