Your passport to the world
Win a scholarship to study Spanish with a Berkeley professor in Spain. Learn about finance and trade during a summer internship in Singapore. Conduct lab research at the University of Tokyo. No matter what your study abroad experience, you’ll be more prepared for the challenges of living and working in a global society while benefiting socially and academically.
Since 1962, UC Berkeley students have studied abroad, internationalizing the campus and creating a community of globally informed students and alumni. Today, more than 1,800 students study abroad annually. In addition to Berkeley students going overseas, the campus hosts over 300 exchange students annually from around the world.
Studying abroad is such a wonderful experience, and one that contributed to my academic experience.
