International Relations

Hi I am keen to apply for international relations at Liverpool/Lancaster/Exeter/Nottingham. Unfortunately my predicted grades are AAD with an A already achieved in my EPQ. Does anyone have any experience of applying with these grades and likelihood of being accepted with these? Thanks for any information anyone has.

With a D grade prediction you are unlikely to get an offer - and, if you do, will you actually be able to meet the offer grades?

That’s what I am wondering if anyone has experience of applying with similar. I see clearing requirements for these courses were much lower last year?

I've seen people over the years get offers with predictions of AAC. What subjects/grades do you have?
Hello @hayles1

Thank you for your question! The entry requirements for our BA International Relations course is ABB.

As you mentioned, sometimes clearing requirements are a bit lower but I only think this can be determined at the time when places have been confirmed and we can see if there are any spaces for people who didn't meet the requirements. I would encourage you to drop an email to [email protected] with your question as they will likely be able to provide a bit more guidance!

Please do let me know if you have any further questions!

Hi There, our entry requirements for Politics & International Relations are BCC, I'm a recent graduate of Politics & IR from Liverpool Hope and can't rave any more highly about the course.

Presumably you've hit the wall with Spanish?

Any of your preferences asking for ABB? AAB?

You've probably got a shout though your other A-level subjects could be stronger. Is there a particular reason your Spanish prediction is so low?
