i changed my course too late so i had limited options

sorry for crossposting! (also did one on r/UniUK)

currently doing joint honours degree in politics and modern languages

I'm considering doing a postgrad in politics as I think I might like to be an academic/not really sure what I want to do so trying to keep my options open?

the way the course works, next year I either have to do a politics dissertation and 3 modern languages units, or a modern languages project and 3 politics units

(the project is an extended essay and some kind of presentation/brochure)

I think I would quite enjoy doing a dissertation/have no issues with putting the hours in on that end. My issue is that I really have no interest in the modern languages units at my uni, and don't find them intellectually stimulating either - ridiculous problem to have, I know.

(I've already tried to switch to single honours politics this year and sadly they said no as I'm too far into the course)

Would not doing a dissertation would be a disqualifying factor in any future applications I make to politics-based masters degrees?
