Academic Plan
If my request to be able to do a Winter exchange program in Barcelona is granted, I have prepared a detailed plan to guarantee my academic success and ensure a seamless continuation of my degree at Queen’s.
I am currently registered in my degree plan, pursuing a major in Sociology and a minor in Health Studies. I have reviewed my Academic Advisement Report in SOLUS and confirmed that my selected courses abroad will contribute meaningfully to my academic progress. The courses I plan to take are Brands and Culture, Beginning Spanish Language, Social Media Strategy, Consumer Culture, and Successful Business Management. These courses will enhance my degree by deepening my understanding of culture, society, and communication from an international perspective.
During my exchange term, I will remain a full-time student, enrolling in the standard course load recommended by the host institution. I am very open to new experiences and exploring new cultures, as I am also great at managing my time efficiently and being independent. I recognize that adapting to a new academic environment may require adjustments, but I am prepared to devote the necessary time to both coursework and independent study.
I do not have outstanding incomplete courses from previous terms, and I’ve kept a strong academic record at Queen’s with a well-standing GPA I plan to maintain that same level of commitment while abroad. If unexpected challenges arise, I will consult promptly with both my Queen’s academic advisor and the host university to explore adjustments while maintaining academic standing.
I recognize that success in a new academic and cultural environment requires careful planning, adaptability, and the use of available supports. I have come up with a few strategies I will use to help me while abroad. These include time management and organization. I will create a structured schedule to balance academic demands with daily activities. I will do this by using planners and digital resources to track deadlines, exams, and assignments. I will prioritize wellness by maintaining a consistent routine of exercise, healthy eating, and sleep. I will access student wellness services at both Queen’s and the host university if I encounter difficulties adjusting. Studying Spanish will also help me navigate coursework and daily life more effectively. When I return to Queens next year, I will meet with my academic advisor to confirm credit transfers and plan the following academic year. Reflecting on the connections between my exchange courses and my long-term academic focus in Sociology and Health Studies, I ensure that the experience informs my future studies and professional direction
