Hello! I'm deciding between applying to International Social and Political Studies (ISPS) or Politics and International Relations at UCL.
I'm drawn to ISPS because I'm really interested in learning a new language, but I am hesitant as I am not that interested in other disciplines such as philosophy or economics. However, I'm more interested in international relations than politics, so I'm leaning more towards ISPS instead of the latter.
- How does the ISPS structure work?
- After taking the first year course of "Introduction to History, Law, Politics and Philosophy", would you only take classes in your specialism (ie. International Relations) and language?
- What is the distribution between taking classes related to your specialism and language over the years?
- What if you struggle with the language you chose?
I would appreciate any insight into these 2 programs. Thank you!
