International Students

International Diploma Programs
UC Berkeley Extension’s International Diploma Programs are specifically designed for international students. They offer an academically rigorous and focused way for professionals with degrees to further their education, enhance their skills, and network with students from other countries. Classes are held in Berkeley in the daytime, and you can complete your program in four months to a year.

Evening Certificate Programs
UC Berkeley Extension’s Evening Certificate Programs are designed for San Francisco Bay Area residents, but qualified international students may also enroll in specified programs. Classes are held in Berkeley, San Francisco, and sometimes Redwood City, generally in the evening. Most programs take from one to three years to complete, though a few can be completed in nine months.
