Anyone with experience of International History and Politics at Leeds?

[NotDonna]

Has anyone’s young person done ir doing the International History & Politics (single honours) at Leeds please? DD liked the sound of the course at open day but is worried that despite wanting AAA, the hustory / politics subject rankings are 18 & 22. I’m wondering how much this matters and how to advise? I always thought Leeds was a decent ranking. The other history & politics degrees are dual award (York, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield etc). Ones wanting AAA are ranked in top ten for the subjects and AAB ranked in the teens. Love to hear from anyone with exp of this course at Leeds are similar at others.

I don’t know about this course but Leeds is a great uni. You talk about rankings but of course there are lots of different league tables anyway. For sure I would not suggest choosing a course and uni you liked less purely bc it was ranked 10 not 18 in a specific table.

If your dc liked the course, the city, the campus, then surely it’s a win. No future employer is going to look at a degree from
Leeds and say, oh that would be better if it were from Sheffield?

@NotDonna Employers are not poring over league tables and preferring students from Sheffield or Manchester. They are really quite similar. Go where he likes!

They are not top 10. None are for politics on CUG 2927 guide. Only York for history. They are all pretty similar so look at course content and where he wants to live.
