- About the GLOBE Program
Founded in 2005, the Dado and Maria Banatao Center for Global Learning and Outreach from Berkeley Engineering (GLOBE) enhances international collaborations by helping College of Engineering departments engage with global partners. GLOBE has established visiting student and scholar programs with partner universities, where faculty relationships already exist and collaboration is mutually beneficial.
GLOBE's visiting scholar programs enable post-graduate scholars to conduct research with Berkeley Engineering's renowned faculty, often supported by government resources aimed at advancing skills or entrepreneurial capabilities. The visiting student programs allow cohorts from partner institutions to enroll in specific College of Engineering courses for up to one year. While these students do not earn a UC Berkeley degree, they receive an official transcript, and course credits are pre-approved by their home institutions to ensure transferability.
This structured approach ensures that international students and scholars gain valuable educational experiences tailored to enhance their academic and professional development. By fostering these international partnerships, GLOBE actively contributes to the global exchange of knowledge and skills, reinforcing the College of Engineering’s commitment to global education and outreach.
關於 GLOBE
GLOBE（Global Learning and Outreach from Berkeley Engineering）隸屬於柏克萊工程學院之 Dado and Maria Banatao 全球學習與外展中心，成立於2005年，致力於促進國際合作，協助工程學院各系所與全球夥伴建立深度連結。GLOBE 主要透過既有師資關係為基礎，與理念相契合的合作大學建立訪問學生與訪問學者計畫，促進雙方互利共好的合作模式。
GLOBE 的訪問學者計畫，讓研究所以上的學者有機會與柏克萊工程學院享譽國際的教授群進行研究合作，並常由各國政府資源支持，以提升專業技能或創業能力。訪問學生計畫則提供合作學校的學生團體，於最長一年期間修習工程學院指定課程。雖然學生不會取得加州大學柏克萊分校學位，但將獲得正式成績單，且其學分已事先獲得原就讀學校認可，確保學分可順利轉換。
此一制度化的設計，確保國際學生與學者能獲得高品質且具針對性的學習經驗，進而促進其學術與職涯發展。透過持續深化國際合作夥伴關係，GLOBE 積極推動知識與技能的全球交流，並體現柏克萊工程學院在全球教育與國際連結上的承諾。
