Politics Degree for IB?

Hello there,

I am about to accept a university offer at a U.K. Target university however the degree is in Politics and International Relations. Does this put me at a significant disadvantage with regards to breaking in?

Note: The university is a target university according to multiple posts I’ve seen on Wall Street Oasis.

Thank you.
