Best universities to study Politics and International relations?

1

Hello guys
I'm really interested in having a career in the diplomatic field or political field. However I would appreciate recommendations on some good universities where I could go and study these subjects. I have uni's such as Manchester,Oxford,Liverpool and the LSE in mind. However some recommendations would be helpful. I live in south wales, so i would appreciate if recommendations stayed to areas around the south of England,London, Midlands or North-west England. I just can't realistically go and study in Scotland, as it's just too far away from my family.

Hiya!

Have you considered studying at Cardiff yet? Its a brilliant uni for Politics and International Relations. The university is very career focused, so you have the opportunity to do relevant placements, do modules taught by the House of Commons (and do study days). The course also has lots of links to political institutions. In most Schools, the uni also offers paid summer internships :smile:

I've taken part in one of these personally and they are a brilliant opportunity to gain relevant skills but get paid doing it as well!

If you wanted to learn about what students think about the course, graduate prospects, employment etc I recommend looking at this link here for the statistics :smile:

Just bear in mind that not everyone answers the surveys so the answers you get depend on the people that bother to fill it out!
