Which uni to study at - LSE or Kings

I’ve received offers from both LSE and Kings to study IR and history, but I’m not sure which of the two would be better to choose for this degree. Any advice?

LSE all the way. The level of education is much higher at it is the better school overall. I wouldn't even consider King's.

Degree wise I would say LSE more so due to its opportunities/ outreach.

Does LSE rank higher for this particular degree (IR & history)?

Yes, but you should definitely consider king’s aswell! It has a renowned war studies department and is still ranked highly in the UK.

The best of both worlds would have been UCL.

LSE
King's is fantastic for War Studies, if that's your thing, but otherwise avoid
