I wish to be put forward for the study abroad exchange programme at X to study
Geography. Studying abroad will give me an opportunity to submerge myself in
another culture and absorb alternative views on urban and cultural geography
essential to respond to current issues such as globalisation, urbanisation and climate
change.
Fundamentally, I believe I could derive vital further knowledge from the course
modules available at X, which will assist me in acquiring a broader view of
Geography as a subject. Like King’s College London, X has an enviable reputation in
the academic world and, as a result, a year within this system will only help to
enhance my skills and therefore my employability across a broad range of industries.
In 2006 I participated in the Youth Energy Summit (YES) in Berlin where youth
representatives from all over the world met to discuss the challenges of the world’s
energy consumption. This experience was especially decisive for my University
career choice. The YES conference deeply impressed me, to play my part and join
forces with international environment agencies and governments to respond to the
urgent challenges of our common future.
Upon returning home I intend to apply the knowledge received at every opportunity
by sharing it with other students and continuing to be active at Kings. I feel I will be
able to participate deeper into the local political debate in my community and have a
broader sense of urban world systems, essential to equip me for my career aspirations.
