Well I admit that I'm a tad biased but Dundee university in 
scotland has excellent politics and history departments (guess 
what I'm studying!). The thing to remember when deciding 
between Scottish universities and universities elsewhere in the 
UK is that Scottish degrees are usually 4 years rather than 3. 
This is because we usually get a degree with honours, I'm not 
sure if it's a better degree but it's pretty rare to stop in third year 
when at a Scottish university. Anyway, good luck.
