Planning to study overseas
University of British Columbia (UBC): September-December 2006
Sat 3 Jun 2006
14 °C
I've just spent the last 2 hours going through all the possible subjects I can study at UBC next semester, and it ain't pretty ![]()
I was expecting to have a wide selection from which to choose, which technically I do, however there are a few limitations:
1) I can only take subjects offered next 'term' (UBC's word for semester)
2) I can't take 6-credit units, as these are year-long courses.
3) I really should only take 300-level courses (i.e. 3rd-year ones).
This cuts out all the Canadian History units (6-credits each), all the interesting History units (all 400-level) and most of the Political Science units (either offered in Term 2 or 6-credits).
Ah well, it's all slowly coming together, and it looks like I'll be studying:
- POLI321A - Chinese Government & Politics
- POLI370A - International Law & the Politics of Military Force
- HIST402 - Diplomacy and the Origins of Wars or HIST252 - Modern Carribean History.
- ANTH220 - First Nations of BC or CDST350A - Canadian Cultural Studies
So it's not all bad! ![]()
On the plus side, there are seemingly many people going away next semester. So far, I know of:
Emily - Japan
Alex - China
Jade - Texas
Jehan - Chile
Pat - The Netherlands
Bec - France
Stas - North Carolina
and me - Canada.
Pretty crazy huh, especially considering there are usually only 70-100 people a semester going abroad.
Ciao!
