International Relations London Universities Advice

I want to study ISPS at UCL in 2022 and I am going to apply to IR at Kings and LSE. I've begun to think about my personal statement but because the course is new and so small I have so many questions. I really would like to find someone who is currently undertaking the course or has been given an offer to advise me. Please help me out as I am confused regarding certain aspects of the course structure and what they look for in a personal statement:

For ISPS:
1. In terms of the language aspect, does your major language need to be a European language? Do you simply have one major and one minor? Also, would you mention your language of interest in your PS? I'd like to study Japanese as my major and Spanish as my minor. So would I simply state: I'd like to study Japanese because ...

NOTE: I'm confused because the course page contradicts itself as it states that you can study Japanese, Hebrew etc. as a major language but then in the 'Selection' section it states ' You should state clearly on your UCAS application which modern European language you wish to study as your major language.'????

2. In your personal statement do you just talk about your specialisms?
3. Does anyone have any sample personal statements I can look at?
4.How likely is it that I'd be interviewed
5. How do the TSA assessments work? As in when do we have to take them?
6. When should I apply by?
7. Do you talk about many super/ extra curriculars? If so do you have any recommendations for me to do quickly?


I think that is it for now !!! thank you so much. Please drop your Snapchats in my PM's if you have experience w this course as I desperately need insight.
