Petition Letter
Petition Letter: My name is Lily Samuel, and I am currently a third-year student in the Film and Media Department at Queen's University. I am writing to formally request your approval to study abroad during the Winter 2024 semester of my fourth year through an International Letter of Permission.
I would like to study in Barcelona at Universitat Autònoma De Barcelona. I have spoken to Ms. Pilstring and Helga, who have helped me with my plan in Film. Thus, I will not require to take any courses that count toward my major. They have reassured me that I can successfully complete four fourth-year film courses during the fall semester, allowing me to fulfill my film plan requirements upon my return. Helga even provided me with a sample schedule that accommodates my academic needs.
Embarking on a study abroad program in Barcelona will be a transformative experience that directly enhances my academic journey as a film major. By immersing myself in the vibrant culture and rich artistic heritage of this captivating city, I will gain unique insights, skills, and perspectives that are crucial for success in my industry.
I kindly request your support in granting me the approval to study abroad with an International Letter of Permission. I am committed to upholding the academic standards of Queen's University and ensuring that my time abroad aligns with my educational goals. I am fully aware of the responsibilities that come with this opportunity and will represent our institution with professionalism and integrity.
I sincerely hope that you will give due consideration to my petition, as studying abroad in Barcelona will undoubtedly be a milestone in my academic and personal development. Thank you for your time, and I eagerly await your positive response.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: To ensure a seamless transition, I have consulted with Helga, who confirmed that I can enroll in four fourth-year film courses at Queen's during the Fall semester. By doing so, I will fulfill the requirements of my film plan and will not need to take any additional courses while studying abroad. This arrangement allows me to fully immerse myself in the diverse and enriching courses available at Universitat Autònoma De Barcelona.
During my research, several electives at Universitat Autònoma De Barcelona have stood out to me. These include Intercultural Communication, art history courses focusing on graffiti and architecture, Politics of The Developing World, and Spanish Contemporary Art. These courses, distinct from my usual film curriculum at Queen's, offer a chance to broaden my knowledge of culture and engage with subjects I would not typically consider. I am excited to embrace these new perspectives and expand my understanding of the world.
Additionally, I would like to mention that for my ENIN certificate, I have the flexibility to take one ENIN course during the first semester and complete the remaining two courses either during my time abroad or during the subsequent summer, as the courses are available online. This flexibility allows me to fulfill my certificate requirements without any conflicts during my study abroad experience.
In conclusion, I believe that studying abroad in Barcelona will greatly contribute to my academic and personal development, broadening my knowledge of diverse cultures and expanding my worldview. Thank you for considering my request, and I eagerly await your positive response.
