Which university to choose for my master in international relations
Hii!
I hope you are all doing great ! I want to do my master degree in diplomacy and international relations and I received conditional offers from the University of Kent, University of Westminster, University of Sheffield, St Mary's Twickenham London, University of Leeds Beckett. I really don't know what to choose. The environment (good atmosphere and nice people) is a really important factor to me when choosing my university. The program is also very very important as well as the opportunities for my career.
The living costs and the overall city are also important. What would you guys recommend??

Hello! @Anneeeeshark 🙂
Firstly, congratulations on all your offers!!
It's great you're thinking of this decision thoroughly. I'd highly recommend researching each university in terms of the course and also the city/atmosphere.
You should find each university's course details on their websites and you may even find virtual tours of the universities either on their websites or on sites like YouTube.
I'd also highly recommend looking at each city the university is in, the availability of transport, gyms etc.. and have a think about what kind of city do you like; do you prefer a busier atmosphere or a calmer one? Do you want to be closer to a certain city or near certain things like beaches etc... All of these factors will have an effect on the decision you make.
It would be better if you could visit each university (either during open days or just on regular days) and have a look around the cities too, but I appreciate this can be hard to do.
In terms of career opportunities, you could have a look at what past International Relations alumni have gone on to do as jobs/careers for each university online.
Ultimately, no one can choose the university for you, and it will depend on your personal preferences. Sorry I can't give specific details about each university and the course but I hope this helps! 🙂
