Hey,
So I applied for various postgraduate programmes in IR to start this September and luckily I got all my offers but now I'm stuck with decided where to go.
I've narrowed it down to two: either LSE's International Relations Theory MSc or The University of Bristol's International Law and International Relations LLM. And I have no idea which one to pick so I was wondering if anyone had any advice, has done either of these courses, done postgraduate study here or just known of anyone who has been to either place or done these courses?
I know LSE is one of the best universities in the world for IR but the theory course was my second choice and I don't know if employers would care that it was a theory course and not the standard IR course (considering I want to work for an international organisation, NGO or the diplomatic service - basically something in international affairs) - personally, I don't really mind that it is a theory course because the only difference is the core module and IR is generally theory-heavy anyway, but it's what employers might think.
Also Bristol has a completely different kind of qualification but at the same time, whilst being a well-respect uni, it isn't as good for IR.
I can't tell if I'm being deterred from picking LSE because it's London or if I'm only thinking it is the better place to go because of its reputation - so I am just stuck.
Any help?
