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.

IHP students are high-performing and ambitious students selected by their home universities based on their history of academic success.

Online programme 2021

In 2021, the online program will prioritize small group work, scheduling flexibility, and hands-on learning. The community building programming will meet students on their own terms and foster lasting connections with other students from around the world.

Some of the things which will be included in the online programme:

• The IHP Alumni Advisor program. Students will be matched with an IHP Alumni Advisor who can answer questions and serve as a mentor and inspiration. Alumni Advisors are IHP Alumni who are hand-selected by the IHP Program Coordinator.
   
• Summer Speaker Series. Live and interactive events featuring Stanford experts and thought-leaders. Last summer's speakers presented on a range of topics from computer innovations, to Hamiltonthe Musical, to an evening with the writers and producers behind Disney’s Mulan. 
   
• Academic and Professional workshops. These workshops are led by members of the Stanford community, working in entrepreneurship, innovation, and other signature Stanford fields. Two highlights from last summer: workshops hosted by LinkedIn and Google!
   
• Pre-Summer advising. These one-on-one sessions with an academic advisor help students select courses and meet their academic goals. 
   
• The IHP Cohort: A Global Community. The same tight-knit IHP cohort as always – just virtually! This includes social meet-ups and opportunities to network and build community with alumni and each other.

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.

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.
