Courses

Students in a classroom watching a lecture

All courses taken during the summer term at Berkeley and during the fall semester abroad are offered for UC Berkeley credit and will appear on your transcript as Berkeley courses with letter grades. Courses count toward College of Letters & Science, Rausser College of Natural Resources, College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, and Haas Spieker Undergraduate Business Program requirements, and participation in Global Edge fulfills the International Studies breadth requirement(link is external).

Course options are subject to change.

Summer Session in Berkeley

During the summer session in Berkeley, you will take COLWRIT R4A and PHILOS 2.

Summer courses are eight-week intensive courses equivalent to a regular 15-week semester course.

Core Courses

Fall Semester in London

During your fall semester in London, you will take COLWRIT R4B and three other courses. During the summer session, you will rank your course selections and subsequently be enrolled in your fall semester courses by Global Edge staff.

London courses are equivalent to courses offered on the Berkeley campus. Instructors include Berkeley faculty as well as local instructors selected by UC Berkeley.

POLISCI 2 Comparative Politics(link is external)

Note: By participating in the Global Edge program, students are required to enroll in the set program curriculum, including the R4A course during the summer, and the R4B course during the fall semester, regardless of AP course scores that might otherwise waive students out of these courses in standard campus-based operations and transfer evaluation credit. Students would be eligible for alternative summer or fall course placements only if they have completed equivalent college-level coursework, for example at a community college.
