LSE or KCL for History & IR?

I've received offers from LSE for BSc in International Relations & History, and from KCL for BA in History & IR (same entry requirements).
Which one should I firm?

Congratulations on your offer! LSE any day, any week, anytime. Stronger alumni network, considered the better university for social sciences just below Oxbridge.

hi! i currently do history and ir @ kcl! i applied to lse, and ucl but ultimately chose kcl due to the specific optional modules!! im now applying to lse again for a postgrad as i found they’re more tailored for what i want to do going foreword!

you have to choose what’s going to be best for yourself—when i was choosing which course to firm it took me so long (i loved the kcl course but was holding back from accepting it due to lse and ucl having higher rankings)
but at the end of the day, i know multiple people accepted onto competitive post grads @ oxford and cambridge, am awaiting my decision from cambridge, and same for lse—going to kcl won’t hold you back from future opportunities (if that’s your worry)
but that being said, if lse is where your heart is at, then definitely choose it!!!

Congratulations on your KCL offer! My predicted grades are A*A*A & my IGCSEs were mostly 9s/A*s, with a couple 8s. Best of luck on your LSE application :smile:

I'm still waiting on a response from kcl for h+ir, its a bit worrying since I wasnt predicted any A*s. When did you get your offer and when did you apply?

Congrats! You're the first person ive been able to find online that also has an offer for ir and history at LSE, ive been looking to see if anyone else has recieved an offer - I'm biased but I'd say LSE
