I am a new graduate from MSc in International Relations of University of Bristol with a good upper second class, and I am now planning to apply a PHD program. I know KCL has been one of the strongest IR grad schools in UK therefore I am very interested in applying. I know you are a MA student, but since you are a student in the department, it will be highly appreciated if you can still give me some inside information about the PHD program: how competitive it is with regard to the entry acceptance? What kinds of GPA I should have in order to be accpeted? is 3.55/4.0 enough? What other qualities of the application will be preferred by the department? Any useful tips for the application?

Thank you very much and I am looking forwar to your reply.

Cheers,

Alex He

Hi Shuyi Zhou,

I’ll send you an email about your questions.

I studied International Relations in undergrad and am deciding if I want to continue to pursue IR in grad school or to go into something else (all the programs under the War Dept. look extremely enticing). What are you planning to do with your degree in War Studies? Is there a foreign language requirement? If not, would you have time to take them on top of your major classes? How large are your classes? How accessible are your professors? What’s the student life like there?

I also saw your post about the Conflict Simulation class,which sounds ridiculously interesting. How was the end of that class?

P.S. Your post for newbies to the war/intelligence field was great! I’ve just begun to explore the field, so the post will be extremely useful/educational!

Hi Andy,

As far as War Studies at KCL, it seems there are two online programs available: War in the Modern World and Air Power in the Modern World. You can find out more at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/warstudies/study/wsonline/programmes/index.aspx

Thanks in advance,
Andy
