Academic Plan
Casey Tarek-Kaminker
20409657
Program: Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Major in Sociology
Term Abroad: Winter 2026
Host Institution: Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), Barcelona, Spain
I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology at Queen’s University. To ensure my courses align with my degree requirements, I consulted with the Undergraduate Chair of Sociology before finalizing my selections.
Through this process, I identified UAB courses that correspond directly with upper-year sociology electives at Queen’s, and I confirmed that I have room in my academic plan to take personal interest electives. I have proactively obtained pre-approval from the Sociology department for these courses to count toward my major.
My exchange schedule will allow me to complete more sociology credits than I was able to enroll in at Queen’s during the Winter term, due to scheduling conflicts. This means that studying abroad will not only enhance my academic experience and global perspective but also help me progress efficiently toward my degree completion.
Planned Courses at UAB (tentative):
SA3022E – An Urban Approach to Spain and Europe
SA3048E – Communication and Gender
SA3049E – Intercultural Communiaction
SA3066E – Applied Arts for Wellbeing and Social Change
SA3037E – Urban Inventions, Graffiti, and Public Sculpture
I will be maintaining a full-time course load while on exchange and have structured my academic plan to balance a rigorous but manageable workload abroad. I am confident in my ability to meet all academic expectations while maintaining strong academic performance.
To ensure academic success, I have developed the following strategies:
Proactive Communications: I will maintain regular contact with academic advisors at both Queen’s and UAB to ensure that all course selections and evaluations align with transfer credit requirements.
Time Management: I plan to use structured weekly schedules and digital tools to manage assignments, study time, and travel while maintaining academic balance.
Use of Academic Support Resources: I will access UAB’s academic support services, language resources, and student advising as needed, and remain connected with Queen’s advising for additional support.
Upon returning to Queen’s, I will review my Academic Advisement Report to confirm the successful transfer of my UAB credits. The courses I complete abroad will strengthen my academic foundation in sociology, particularly in global, cultural, and urban contexts.
