Academic Plan
To whom it may concern,
I am excited to take advantage of the many elective courses and possibilities for experiential learning that Barcelona offers during my semester there. My background in the International Baccalaureate program, which I completed, has allowed me to earn some transfer credits that significantly contribute to my ability to graduate on time from Queen's University. Additionally, I have completed all the mandatory course requirements for the Political Science degree.
First and foremost, I intend to pursue a set of elective courses that align with my major and academic interests. The elective courses I have selected consist of Spanish Contemporary Art, Digital Photography, Intercultural Communication, Urban Interventions, Politics of the Developing World, and Graffiti and Public Sculpture.
The courses I have selected for my semester abroad in Barcelona offer distinct educational opportunities not available at Queen's University. In addition to aligning with my academic interests, these courses provide a helpful viewpoint that will advance my academic career. For example, Spanish Contemporary Art explores the vibrant world of contemporary Spanish Art. The knowledge will broaden my understanding of art history and contribute to my academics by providing a unique cultural context that cannot be replicated at Queen's. Furthermore, Intercultural communication provides an increasingly interconnected global landscape. The course will improve my capacity for effective communication with people from all backgrounds, a precious skill today. These courses are not only academically stimulating, but they also match my academic and professional aspirations. They provide a breadth of information and exposure to several cultures that will be crucial for my career and personal development. Studying subjects like art history in Europe offers a singular and intriguing academic experience. Barcelona provides a real-world classroom. Students can attend to the works of art they are studying in their original settings rather than relying exclusively on textbooks and pictures.
No doubt, choosing to take a semester off and study abroad involves some practical challenges. However, I want to assure you that I am not embarking on this path carelessly, and I am making deliberate efforts to deal with these practical difficulties. I am closely working with the International Studies Abroad (ISA) program team, who are experts in facilitating study abroad programs. They guide me through the visa application procedure and ensure that all academic requirements are satisfied. Their proactive approach helps me stay on track academically and minimizes potential disruptions to my educational journey.
My academic plan summarises my ambitions and objectives for my study abroad experience in Barcelona. I am committed to Barcelona's exceptional educational and cultural options with my academic obligations at Queen's. I want to ensure my academic plan supports my academic and personal growth and aligns with my criteria for my degree by working closely with an academic advisor. I genuinely appreciate you reviewing my request, and I am confident this opportunity will considerably enhance my academic career.
Sincerely,
Luci McIntosh
