Tuition-based mobility programmes

Each summer Stanford Summer Session invites international undergraduate and graduate students to participate in Stanford’s International Honors Program (IHP), which has been developed in collaboration with a few designated university partners from around the world.

During the eight-week programme (June–August), students are enrolled in the same courses as matriculated Stanford students and earn Stanford academic credit along with an official Stanford University transcript. The vast majority of courses are taught by Stanford faculty, lecturers, and advanced Stanford graduate students, supplemented by high-quality visiting instructors from other universities. All IHP students must enroll in a minimum of 8 units, 7 of which must be from academic departments. This usually represents two to three courses.

IHP students are high-performing and ambitious students selected by their home universities based on their history of academic success, and the program combines top-notch academics with extracurricular activities, such as partaking in the Silicon Valley Innovation Academy.

IHP students live and study together in their own residential environment, forming a community of dedicated scholars and enabling the students to make connections and new friendships that can last a lifetime.

The “Berkeley International Study Program” (BISP) is a unique program that provides study abroad opportunities for visiting international students, to come to the Department of Sociology to study for one or two semesters. UC Berkeley have since 2005 been partnering with selected universities in different parts of the world where they have academic connections, who nominate qualified students to study abroad in the programme.

The Department of Sociology offers courses that can be useful for a variety of studies. The Berkeley International Study Program offers four tracks (which is a focused set of courses):

• Business and Economy
• Politics and Law
• Health and Society
• Research and Methodology

Enrollment to the courses is on a space-availability basis, and you typically study 4 courses in parallel per semester. You may follow the chosen track or choose from a wide range of courses offered at the Department.

After attending BISP you are a part of building the Berkeley International Study Network. Note that participation in the programme does not result in a degree issued by the University of California, Berkeley.

Lund University School of Economics and Management has partnered with Berkeley Haas Global Access Program (BHGAP) to provide unique access for our students to the renowned Berkeley Haas School of Business and the faculty's networks within the innovation hub of the Bay Area and Silicon Valley.

Through BHGAP, international students gain the knowledge, skills and connections necessary to excel as innovators and global leaders. The core curriculum emphasizes entrepreneurship, product launch and transformative leadership in digital and global markets, but can also be customized to meet your specific interests. Enhancements may include: professional development workshops; graduate school admissions counseling, cohort lunches, immersive California trips, company visits in the Silicon Valley/Bay Area, and career coaching programs.

Students take three to four courses (9 units) on the Berkeley campus taught by Berkeley-Haas faculty, with a cohort of BHGAP students. Participants also select one elective course (3 units) from the Berkeley course catalog also taught on the Berkeley campus. Upon completion of BHGAP, students will receive a Transcript from University of California, a certificate of completion from Berkeley Haas and benefits as Berkeley Haas alumni to further develop as global leaders: local alumni networks, Haas LinkedIn groups, and access to Haas online subscription content.
