So I really want to study in either a UK or US university.
I remember someone once posted this list with the best universities for a specific field.
Anyone would know the list for politics/economics/international relations studies?

Would appericiate it dearly :)

    The Times Newspaper publish a list of best uni's and they also break it down into differant study areas. Not sure about the US. If you want to apply this year then the UCAS deadline is close........

    Bopz

    I found this a while ago. Don't know how accurate it is, but it gives an indication if nothing else.

    If you want to study in the US be prepared for it to COST, uni is VERY expencive there. However there are a lot more scholarships etc that you can get.

    I do know that. Though I hope my parents will keep their word of paying for everything school-related regardless of the cost.
    But yes, there are always scholarships...

    You wouldn't have to pay extra fees in the UK, cos of Europe. Just same fees as home students, which currently is a maximum of £1250. Might be more when you go to uni though.

    So far it seems as if studying in England would be the better choice. Cost-wise, but also the fact that it's only a two hour flight away from home should anything happen.

    are you sure?

    cause i used to study with a finnish girl, and she was paying about £3000 a year.

    and i'm pretty sure the guy from guernsey on my course (who is classes as an international student) pays more than us too....


    i might have got it wrong though.

    European Union students don't have to pay extra fees. Non European Union students are classed as international students and have to pay huggge fees, I think about 8K for arts courses and 10k for sciences. Approximately.

    £7995, exactly. I know, it's how much was sucked out of my bank account.

    Although I find it odd that someone from Finland had to pay £3k, as I've got a Finnish friend who's paying the standard £1250. Guernsey must have its own rules - it's a British Isle, and so it can't be part of the EU, but its students are still regarded as foreigners. (Though you've got to ask, where are they supposed to go if not the UK?)

    Incidentally, sciences courses are closer to about £14k, with medicine being the ultimate money-grubber, demanded a horrific £18k a year.

    this was in 2000, so things may have changed since then.


    i just remembered her finding out we only paid £1000 a year and kicking off.

    I've heard so too.
    Though from the research I've made, Warwick has a great programme, which combines politics, international studies and economics. I doubt I have the marks to get in, though.
