Politics / International Relations Newcastle 2025

Hiya, thought I'd make one of these for those Newcastle Pol / IR applicants to chat about offers, offer holder days and more since I couldn't find any myself.

I take History, Religious Studies and Sociology at A-Level, predicted A*AA and have firmed Newcastle for Pol + IR and have Northumbria as my insurance!

I wish you all luck on your offers!

Hi! I've applied to do Pol + IR too, I applied two weeks ago but not heard anything back yet. Everyone seems to be getting offers from Newcastle within days but I haven't yet.

Oh, how weird. I hope they get back to you soon! Where else have you applied?

Liverpool, Manchester, Durham and Northumbria!

I am still waiting on a reply, was really hoping I could firm Newcasltle but it is looking more unlikely as so many people have received offers within days and I haven't! My predicted grades are A*AA so still holding out hope

Aw thank you! No I have still not received a response, it is really deflating as it is my first choice university. I would just rather know at this point so I can make a decision about what to do.

How exciting that you have an offer though! Do you study politics at A level?

no sadly not ☹️ I wish I did but it isn't offered here which sucks. Yeah, that is such a shame, I'd rather know as well. Still holding out hope!!
