Hi,
I am applying for postgraduate courses and need to know what universities are good.
I figure obviously the old lot are top (Oxford, Cambridge…some of the London ones), but I’ve no chance of making it into Ox or Camb, so forget them.
I am applying to Kings, possibly UCL and too. Oh and Manchester.
Them aside, where else is good?
Subject: History, or International Relations
Thanks,
Legbreak.
i would recomend LSE but if u cant get into oxford or cambridge then u definitley shant be able to get into LSE. 
jus curiuos y these 2 subjects ?.. they r two totally different subjects.
anyho … here is the list for History and for I.R .
Hope this helps.
I’m on course for a solid 2.1, but I still dont think I could get into Ox/Camb. I always figured they’d pick from the 5% of ppl who get 1st Class degrees.
No?
Why History and IR?
They are closely related. I’m doing a History degree, but a lot of my course electives have been Political Science modules. I mean I’ve done Theories 1 and 2, Issues in World Politics, Foreign Relations… a fair amount of IR.
Its pretty cool ****. Ok, some of it is boring, but a lot of it is action packed. 
Any how, which universities?
where are you currently at?
edited. my safety is paramount.
You could try War Studies at KCL. It's a compbination of History and IR.
I have the handout for that.
The Q is, what careers are available to a WS graduate?
I know a KCL War Studies graduate who is now working as a IT Services manager at IBM.
Is that you? :)

is that on a 4 pt scale or is it different in UK?
cambridge is v. good for science + it's been voted as the best uni' in the world via a poll conducted by the guardian.

Different system, althought the classifications can obviously be roughly converted. I'm sure a 1st is equal to perhaps 3.8 or something.
The UCL site says "2.1 or GPA of 3.5 if that system is being used" or something to that affect.
You know...
