Why Politics? Likewise I find it really interesting and relevant a subject. I plan to study it with languages which I feel works well as a combination in such a globalised world.


are you applying for government at lse?
also what are you applying for at kings and ucl
Have politics offers this week;

Leeds- politics at AAB ( Tuesday )
York- politics and philosophy at AAA ( yesterday )

2 offers in 1 week :smile:
Yeah, I'm applying to Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh and Hull and I've had a conditional offer from Cardiff, Manchester and Edinburgh
Cool that there's a thread for a combo like Philosophy and Politics! Haven't submitted my app yet, need to hurry the heck up, but my personal statement is a nightmare to edit. I'm applying to Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Cardiff and maybe Bristol, but the modules look really dry. Anybody else applying/applied to Bristol?
Hello fellow politics fans :smile:

GCSE grades: 2A*s, 5As, 2Bs
AS grades: AAB in English Lit, French and RE (I'm still mad)

Why Politics?: I want to change the world man! Haha I'm only half kidding. I'm really passionate about world issues, particularly international development, and I'm active on my local politics scene. I love the feeling of engaging in a political debate and learning from someone with completely opposite views to you.

did you apply for pure politics at kings? have you heard anything from them
@willpatrick7 I got my Exeter offer last Wednesday. They asked me for AAA.

@returnmigrant I'm taking a risk by simply not having an insurance choice. I will technically have one on UCAS but it's probably only going to be just for me to decide where I really want to go. I'm doing 4 subjects for my A2 and all my offers should be for 3, meaning I would still be safe if I messed up an exam. Together with my predicted grades, I don't see myself achieving below AAA in 3 subjects this year.

@lauren_atkins Thanks! :smile: I got my Warwick offer last Friday.

@amukaty Yes I did apply just for pure politics at King's. The only thing I have heard from them was them asking me to complete a fees assessment questionnaire, nothing else.

I am a UK national but I live in Thailand, so that's why I'm being sent questionnaires. I got the fees status questionnaire from King's probably like a couple weeks ago, I don't remember exactly but its been a while.

And no, I'm applying for Politics and International Relations at LSE.
