Opportunity at Berkeley

Spending a semester or year away from campus can be a transformative experience for college students, and we here at UC Berkeley would like to bring a new visiting-student program offered by the UC Berkeley College of Chemistry, the world’s #1-ranked Chemistry faculty, to your attention. 

The Berkeley Global Chemistry Visiting Student Program  is a semester-length cohort-based program for undergraduates focused on either Computational Chemistry or Chemical Biology. Students will choose between these two tracks and participate in specialized upper-division coursework alongside Berkeley undergraduates and their international cohort peers. 

In addition to the wide range of upper-division Chemistry offerings and the opportunity to study alongside Berkeley students and professors, visiting Chemistry students will have an opportunity to seek undergraduate research training through joining faculty laboratories, attend professional and academic networking events, and connect to UC Berkeley Chemistry’s wide and active alumni network. 

If you or another member of your department would be interested in learning more about programming, course transfer, or anything else related to the Chemistry Visiting Student Program, our team would welcome an opportunity to detail how Berkeley’s study-away programming could complement the work of your Chemistry department to provide your students with opportunities for intellectual growth and career exploration. 

If you are interested, but feel this email would be better directed to your university’s study-away office, we would appreciate your endorsement and a forward on to the appropriate point of contact. Please reach out if you’d like to connect over Zoom or through email; we look forward to hearing from you.
