A summer in California with an amazing variation of businesses, nature, and culture.

UC Berkeley offers over 600 courses in everything from astronomy to statistics.
Every two years around 35 aspiring engineers from the Industrial Engineering and Management program at Chalmers are given the opportunity to be enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley. The two-month summer program runs from the beginning of June to the middle of August and combines courses at UC Berkeley with study visits and project work for startups in Silicon Valley.
Thanks to a contribution from Stenastiftelsen it was possible for students to participate in the 2022 program regardless of their personal financial situation. More information about the contribution can be found here.here.
Each year over 16 000 students participate in Berkeley's summer sessions. 4 000 of them are international students. The summer courses are the same as those during the academic year but customized to run during the summer.
