International relations

I was recently recommended to look into a degree in International Relations, my predicted grades are A*BC in History, Biology and Chemistry, with a pending EPQ. I was wondering for anyone studying or going to study International Relations. What is the Career prospects like? Job security, salary, what type of work would I do? Anyone advice is appreciated and welcome. Many thanks

Hi! I'm in Y13 & looking to do politics and international relations at either Warwick or Bristol next year - I would say that international relations obviously does not have a direct career path so the salary can really vary, this especially means that the quality of the uni ect you go too matter quite a lot, its not like medicine where you can simply be a junior doctor in the nhs after leaving medical school, but it also means you can choose from a variety, job security will be strong if you decide to enter the civil service and it will have a great pension scheme however other careers may be less stable; for civil service jobs look on the internet ect but you could get into international security ect I met a lot of current students at Warwick open day who were planning to enter that line of work!
