This study abroad experience changed the way I approach filmmaking. It helped me become more comfortable in so many different aspects of production, and I can confidently say that I have come back a much more knowledgeable and confident filmmaker.
When can I study abroad as a Radio/Television/Film major?
You can begin exploring possible study abroad options as early as your first year. There are opportunities to study abroad all terms, including the summer after your first year at NU.
It is possible to study abroad during your final year at NU and even graduate abroad. However, students should be aware that it can take 2-4 months to receive a transcript from study abroad. If you are studying abroad during your final quarter at 麻豆最新出品, this will likely delay your actual date of graduation.
What classes can I take abroad?
If you take classes in any subject area that NU teaches in the School of Communications—Theater, Film Production, Film and Media Studies, Communication Studies, etc, then it can count towards degree requirements.
Students can also take courses outside Radio/Television/Film to help fulfill other degree requirements, learn or improve on a language, or just to take advantage of the opportunity to learn something new.
You can read more about academic planning and choosing courses abroad on the GLO website.
What type of credit can I get from study abroad?
Students can count up to two study abroad credits toward the RTVF major as long as they are approved as the equivalent to 300-level School of Communication classes. All students should remember to retain syllabi from courses abroad to ease the credit transfer process.
