Petition Letter
To whom it may concern,
My name is Luci McIntosh, and I am in my third year at Queens University, studying in the Political Science department. I am writing to express my most profound interest in studying at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in the Winter/Spring semester 2024. The opportunity to study abroad is one I do not take lightly, as I will be able to immerse myself in a new educational setting that emphasizes global viewpoints and intercultural understanding. The Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona is extensively known for its top-notch education programmes and institutions, especially its international relations department. In addition to new exposure, this experience will allow me to work with professors and students from various cultural backgrounds, enhancing my adaptability and cross-cultural communication.
For the past 20 years, I have grown up in Canada. While growing up in the same place created a source of stability and familiarity in my life, it has also fueled my appetite for new experiences and a broader understanding of the world. The Universitat de Barcelona presents a setting of self-discovery, cultural immersion, and personal growth. While leaving behind my home is scary, the opportunity to study at the institution excites me beyond measure. I am eager to take advantage of this opportunity to step towards independence and self-reliance. It is a challenge I am more than willing to take on and immerse myself in a whole different country, language, and way of life.
I have always been deeply interested in Barcelona's distinctive cultural history, architecture, and artwork. The city's status as the centre of creativity and innovation for my academic endeavours will immensely benefit me. Looking ahead, I believe this cultural experience will help my personal life and future academic endeavours.
I want to assure you that I have carefully considered the ramifications of studying abroad and created a strategy to fulfill my academic requirements. I am currently on track to graduate in Spring 2025, as I have completed all the mandatory Political Science program courses. During my time abroad, I am committed to staying on par with my academic requirements and taking advantage of the diverse range of elective courses and the university's experiential learning opportunities. I intend to enroll in courses that align with my academic interests and expand my knowledge beyond the curriculum available at Queen's. With its global student body and multinational professors, the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona educational system offers an outstanding opportunity to investigate topics from new and fresh angles.
In conclusion, my request to study abroad is driven by the desire to broaden my intellectual and personal horizons by taking advantage of Barcelona's exceptional educational and cultural options. In addition to helping me personally, the experience will add to the variety and global outlook Queen's University emphasizes in its students.
Sincerely,
Luci McIntosh
