My DD is going to Durham to study Sociology. There is a combined honours degree where you can add a second and even third subject. She's considering adding History (this is not a given, she'd have to apply to change her subject with no guarantee), but she wonders if that weakens her prospects for getting on a Masters in Sociology course? She'd be aiming to go to LSE or similar. She's checked entry requirements and they say 'a first or high second degree in a social science'. They say that related degrees may count if they have a strong sociology component but point out that the course(s) is very competitive. It does seem she should stick to a single subject but does anyone have any experience in applying for a masters at a competitive uni with a joint degree?
Also, can you apply to as many Masters programs you want or is it limited (or is it such an arduous process people tend to only apply to X amount)?
