I really think that if you have any questions about the course, you should talk to the department, or the academics working on the degree, directly. They will be very happy to help you and will answer any questions you might have.
Just to clarify, this is a degree course and is not related to a foundation degree. Indeed, most students accepted onto the programme have qualifications that far exceed the AAB requirement. Competition for entry is also fierce, with more than 1000 applicants in each of the last two years.

It won't do any harm to contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies directly.

I know it's a good course - I was just worried that the University itself would be looking down on it - I've seen more negative things on these forums about this course than I have for my others, is all.

Much of what is written here (about pretty much every uni) so far wide of the mark. TSR is great for sharing information and having a general discussion about uni applications. But you really, really don't want to be making decisions based on what you read here. There is so much inaccuracy and it is a really important decision.
Really there are only two questions you want to be asking yourself when you make your choice:
1) Is the course right for you? Can you see yourself studying this for three years?
2) Are you comfortable with the uni itself? Would you feel happy living there?
TSR is a really good place to talk about these things (esp. the second point) with current students etc. But do you honestly expect anyone here to have a reasonable sense of how the degree is seen by academics working at KCL (apparently it has more applications, btw, than any other degree at in its school)?
I can't stress enough how important it is to work these things out for yourself. You really should get in touch with the staff in the department and maybe arrange a visit with them.
For those who have offers/studying, what gcse grades did you get?

Hey guys real big decision : What should I take , Kings for international politics or Notts for international relations and politics....
BIG decision!
BIG decision!
Pick Kings!!! I got into both and I'm deffo firming Kings College
I just got an offer for Politics of the International Economy - I'm really happy and seriously considering King's but I'm having second thoughts about whether a course with so much econ is likely to be in my best interests. What do you suppose are the chances that I'd be able to switch onto International Politics if I took up my offer?

Look carefully at the course. If you take the BSc route then it's more economics. If you take the BA then there's a politics focus. In fact, many of the courses are shared between this degree and International Politics. If you're in any doubt about how the degree works you should email the course director.

Has anyone who has done International Politics been able to do a work placement as part of the course? I noticed that the old foundation course had that as part of the degree and wondered if they might still allow it.
Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record. But have you emailed the academic who runs the degree?

Got an offer for Politics of the International Economy yesterday, so excited! anyone else going to firm this?
anyone else going to firm this?I am
Though I'm not sure if I prefer it over the BA International Politics course. That was in fact my original choice, however they transferred me to Politics of the International Economy since they felt I was better suited for it.

exactly the same with me! I was awfully confused when it happened, I didn't know they could do that? I've heard they did it because they didn't want to reject us as applicants but were unable to offer us a place on the BA International politics course. They do look extremely similar so I think I will still take it
Congratulations though!Quick Reply
