International Relations and Politics

So I have applied to Loughborough, Lancaster, City St George’s, QMUL and SOAS for Internatioanl relations and politics.
Got an offer back from all except SOAS, and having a really hard time on trying to select my firm and outweighing the pros and cons. Any advice on which would probably be best to firm and which for insurance?? I got reduced BBB offers for Lancaster and city St George’s but I don’t know if I want to insurance either.

You will be invited to offer holder visit days at each Uni so you can have a more critical look around and revisit the course details. And you dont have to make any decision about this until MAY - so, sit on your hands, and wait.

Hi there,

The office recently came back from Christmas break last week. Usually, they aim to respond within one calendar month. I'd say just wait until you receive the response from SOAS, then you can make a balanced and informed decision based on the pros and cons of all the institutions. Maybe have a deeper look at all the institutions' websites to look at the written information, and if possible, attend open days so you have a feel for the university and campus to make a pros/cons list.

Good luck and all the best for the future. 😊
