I'm just wondering if anyone who studies in the Department of Political Science/School of Public Policy at UCL can tell me, from past expierience, how difficult it was to secure a place on a course in that department? e.g. if competition was high, or if you gained a 2:1 or above from a reputable university and held excellent A-level results that it was more an issue of whether you could afford it?

For the record I e-mailed my CV to the 'course contact' back in May for the course that I'm looking into applying for (MA Legal & Political Theory), whom responded saying that on the face of it I looked like a good candidate.

For the record I gained a 2:1 in Politics from Leeds University and hold 3-A A'Levels in Sociology, Politics & History.
