Studying Politics at University

Alongside economics, I'm thinking of applying for politics at university instead of economics. As one day I wouldn't mind ending up in parliament (arn't I a sad person), so I was just wondering about a few things...

Whats politics like at university?

What sort of careers could it lead me into?

Anyone know how good International Politics is to study? as it seems a bit more interesting then the other courses I've looked at.

Any advice is welcome, cheers.

How are your grades? How about a Politics, Philosophy and Economics degree?

In politics at AS my units grades were a BBD, retaking the D to get that up and one of the B's were only a single mark off an A... That annoyed me.

I'm thinking maybe just go into some sort of politics course, I'm not sure yet, going to speak to my careers officer at school somepoint next week.
