About the Global Edge London Program
Global Edge is a first year pathway option for newly admitted students in the College of Letters & Science, College of Natural Resources, and HAAS Global Management Program. Students in the Global Edge London program spend their summer at Berkeley then their first fall semester abroad in London enrolled in UC Berkeley courses at the UC London Center.
All courses taken during the summer term at Berkeley and during the fall semester abroad are offered for UC Berkeley credit and appear on the student’s transcript as Berkeley courses with letter grades. By the end of the semester, students will have completed general and area breadth requirements. Participation in Global Edge fulfills the International Studies breadth requirement.
