From the fjords of northern Europe to the Australian Outback, and at every latitude in between, Berkeley engineers are learning all across the globe.Study abroad
In this section
Our students plan to change the world. Our programs make a global impact. So it makes sense to get out there and see the world we’re changing. Berkeley Engineering works in concert with the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) as well as non-UC sponsored programs to enrich your engineering education with an experience in a foreign country.
Study abroad programs are offered for one semester, a full academic year or a summer session. Every program takes careful planning and thorough communication with your Engineering Student Services adviser and the financial aid office. You can complete such a program without delaying graduation; however, if needed, students who participate will be granted an additional semester to finish their degree requirements.

Study Abroad for Engineering Majors Student Panel & Information Session
ESS hosts this session every fall semester. Date and time will be posted then.
Hear from a panel of current engineering students about their experiences overseas, programs they participated in, and how they fit study abroad into their schedules. Engineering Student Services and Study Abroad Advisers will give an overview of how to start the process, applications and more.
