The son of a friend of mine (U.S.) was just accepted into a 'War Studies' program at King's College in London. I don't know anything about the school and am curious:

1. Is King's College consideered a prestigious school internationally?

2. What kinds of jobs would be typical for a graduate of a 'War Studies' curriculum?

In some areas, for example Law, it is quite prestigious, and is considered top 5 in the UK (that is, it is grouped with UCL and LSE after Oxbridge), but also well-known internationally.

For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
