Hi
I am currently a final year IR student at an OK university in the UK, the Politics department has quite a good reputation though.
At the very least I should end up with a good 2:1 (65% or above) and I want to apply to universities such as LSE, Warwick, SOAS, Durham. I will also apply to other less prestigious universities but I was wondering do the top universities look for something extra special in an MA applicant, or will a good degree suffice?
I want to apply to good universities, but do they look for firsts rather than 2:1's?
Any advice would be appreciated.
