I am currently in my second year of a politics degree and starting to think about what i want to do after i finish next year. I am very interested in Chinese/East Asian politics/language and there are many masters degrees that i am interested in that focus on those topics. I was wondering, when applying for a postgraduate place on a programme, would they take the topic of your undergraduate dissertation into account. I am currently writing my dissertation proposal due this week, which is on British politics/voter turnout, thus not really relevant to my postgraduate interests :/

but it ep
It can be relevant but it depends on the Masters. Mine stated that applicants must demonstrate "an active interest" in the topic, which was pretty specialst. I'd written my undergrad diss on a related topic, so I satisfied that requirement.

Not at all, I did a dissertation on Faecal Coliforms in a river system and now have a place to study Special and Inclusive Education at Bristol Uni.
