Life in Berkeley
Studying in the International Diploma
Programs places you in the heart
of downtown Berkeley. You attend
classes in the UC Berkeley Extension
building, just a few short blocks from
the UC Berkeley campus.
Berkeley is a dynamic community
and part of the larger San Francisco
Bay Area. This is the home of free
thought and innovation, inspiring the
launch of out-of-the-box creative
pioneers such as Google and Pixar.
Here, you’ll meet enthusiastic and
accepting professionals who are
committed to achieving their dreams.
The city boasts a “melting pot” of
traditions and welcomes diversity
with open arms.
Downtown Berkeley resides in an
arts and entertainment district that
India
Turkey
China
Other
Countries
offers cinemas, live theater, and music.
You can sample local organic foods at
a weekend farmers’ market, have coffee at a sidewalk café, or take a hike
in the wooded Berkeley hills. Visit
street vendors on Telegraph Avenue,
or enjoy an outdoor concert at the
Greek Theatre. On any day of the
week, from the hills to the bay, you
can find enjoyable things to do in the
diverse and colorful city of Berkeley.
The Bay Area and Beyond
Scenic San Francisco is just west of
Berkeley, across the San Francisco
Bay. You can rent a bicycle and ride
across the Golden Gate Bridge or
take a cable car through Chinatown
to tourist favorite Fisherman’s Wharf.
To experience the city’s hip literary
past, explore the coffeehouses and

Indonesia, Mexico, Morocco,
Netherlands, Philippines, Poland,
Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan,

the colorful Victorian architecture
of the Haight-Ashbury district. Or
take in the view of twinkling city
lights, majestic bridges, and the Pacific
Ocean coastline from one of the
city’s many famous hilltops.
In the state of California, many worlds
are within your reach. Napa Valley—
with its wineries and ­restaurants—is
just an hour north of San Francisco.
You can fly south to Los Angeles in
an hour or drive northeast to Lake
Tahoe in about four hours. Yosemite
National Park—featuring spectacular rock formations, hiking trails, and
waterfalls—is also within a day’s drive.
And if you want to try your luck in
Las Vegas, it’s several hours’ drive
southeast of Berkeley. Whatever your
interest, the place to explore it is only
a short distance away.

“Through my IDP internship experience at the San Francisco
Center for Economic Development, I learned best practices to help
international businesses succeed in the Bay Area. This has been
very helpful in my current job at Opinno, an open innovation
network of entrepreneurs, investors, and ideas.
“I love the fact the I can have a positive impact on IDP students,
helping them define their professional paths. It is very important
that the interns feel part of the team during the time they are with
us, and they always play a main role at Opinno so that they can
make the most out of the internship.”

Becoming an Intern
You must apply to become an intern while you are participating in one
of the 4-Month IDPs. To qualify for an internship, you must meet the
following requirements:
□have
an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher in your IDP,
□maintain
□be
a grade of C or higher in all courses in your IDP,
a student in good standing throughout the duration of your program.
An internship coordinator assists you as you attend an internship orientation, participate in a company fair to meet prospective internship mentors,
create a résumé, and develop interviewing skills.
Securing the internship requires interviewing for the position, just as you
would interview for a full-time job. Once you obtain an internship, an internship instructor ensures you meet the program’s academic requirements. In
addition, an internship site supervisor monitors your performance and attendance throughout the entire internship experience.
Your internship is considered an academic program: You earn academic
credit for your participation and maintain your status as a full-time student.
