International Relations Applicants 2013

I'm just interested to know who here is applying to International Relations/Politics/Studies, whether it's a single/combined/joint honour. Also, where are each of you applying to?

I'm applying to Warwick, Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Aberystwyth.

Five out of five offers now, all conditional.
Warwick - AAA
Surrey - AAB
Sussex - AAB/A*BB
Kent - ABB
Aberystwyth - 300 points

I'm aiming to apply for IR, but all my choices have a different name. The annoying thing about IR is that every uni seems to have a different name for it, bu they're essentially the same course

Warwick - PAIS
LSE - IR + History
Sheffield - IR + Politics
Notts - IR + Global Issues
Exeter - IR

I know exactly what you mean. Writing the personal statement was a bit annoying as I didn't know whether to just refer to the course as IR.

Yeah I just decided to refer to it as 'international relations' (which takes up an annoying amount of characters in the PS haha) because it seems most relevant to all of them.

After a bit of waffling about, I think I've finally come up with a list. In a vague sort of choice-related order:

St Andrews: International Relations and Philosophy
LSE: International Relations
Durham: International Relations
KCL: International Politics
Edinburgh: International Relations

I was waiting around for my test scores (US student, weirdness) before applying, but I should hopefully have everything in by mid-November. Rather nervous, I'll admit, as I don't know what the typical response time is for any of my universities...

Hey!

The Unis you've picked take forever. Especially St Andrews. (I Applied there and Edinburgh too). - A lot of them won't even start looking at applications until the 15th January as that's the UK Deadline for applications... But you might hear before this because you're an International Student - and some Unis tend to get back to you guys quicker.

Eek! I guess I shouldn't be too surprised... Originally I was going to apply to Manchester (instead of Durham), and I guess they're known for being a bit quicker, but I'm pretty happy with this list so I guess I'll stick with it. :smile:

I do know that St Andrews says they get back to international applicants who apply directly within four weeks. I don't know about UCAS applicants, though... I guess I'll just have to live in hope.

And also actually put in the effort to apply to my US schools (which I wasn't going to, if I got into one of my UK choices before the US deadline).
