UC Berkeley Students

Non-UC Berkeley Students

The Global Summer Program is a new and exciting initiative of the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU), involving 10 leading international research universities---Oxford; Cambridge; Yale; University of California, Berkeley; Tokyo University; Australian National University; National University of Singapore; University of Copenhagen; Peking University; and ETH Zurich.

The IARU Global Summer Program provides intensive, residential summer courses at different host universities that have been uniquely designed for students from the ten IARU member institutions. Through the Global Summer Program, you will have an invaluable opportunity to live and learn with classmates from the 10 leading educational institutions in another cultural environment, to be exposed to new pedagogies and perspectives, and, above all, to be a member of a new community of global citizens and future global leaders. Students will emerge from the summer experience with a deeper understanding of critical issues facing a globalizing world, more developed skill sets and commitment to be actively engaged participants of the 21st century.

Scholarship and financial aid may be available, depending on the university.
