Berkeley, California

From a group of academic pioneers in 1868 to the Free Speech Movement in 1964, Berkeley is a place where the brightest minds from across the globe come together to explore, ask questions and improve the world.

We have the great pleasure of offering you, students of the bachelor in Religion and Social Science, the opportunity to take up to one school year at one of the world’s most recognized universities.

The text below is taken from Berkeley University’s own website:
“Berkeley’s Sociology Department is known around the world for its excellence in research and teaching. For the past six decades, we have consistently been ranked among the world’s top sociology departments, and in 2017 we were #1 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings. We are proud to contribute to the world’s leading public university, to international sociology, and to the life of the mind beyond the academy. Our faculty teach and do research in most sociological specialties. Our PhDs are leaders in universities and research centers across the US and in many other countries. And our BAs populate the ranks of innumerable professions, bringing with them the skills and special perspective of Berkeley sociology.”

There are several good reasons to take a school year abroad. You can learn about another culture and language, you’ll become more attractive on the job market and you’ll gain many exciting experiences and acquaintances. We have created a oage called “Exchange ABC” where you can read more about why it’s advisable to take a school year abroad. You will find the link in the box on the right margin.

Below is a short video clip that gives a picture of Berkeley:

We hope that it may be of interest to you to take a year of study at Berkeley.
