Study Abroad

The Celtic Studies Program encourages students to study abroad in a semester or summer. Coursework can apply to Celtic major or minor requirements -- faculty should review coursework, and students should receive passing letter grades. 

Majors: up to three courses or 12 units abroad may be counted towards the major, pending review by the major advisor.
Minors: up to two courses or 8 units abroad may be counted towards the minor, pending review by the major advisor.

Contact the Celtic Studies Undergraduate Advisor to discuss your plans for study-abroad, including your requirements, class selection, and signing academic planning forms.

Programs offered by UC Berkeley and UCEAP will seamlessly transfer course credit to your UC Berkeley transcript, though course syllabi still require Celtic Studies review to confirm they will apply to Celtic Studies.

For questions about Berkeley Study Abroad or UCEAP programs, applications, and financial aid, contact Berkeley Study Abroad advisor for Ireland, Scotland, and England: Ted Sengpaseuth, tsengpaseuth@berkeley.edu.

Summer study-abroad programs at other UCs are also open to UC Berkeley students. Course credit transfers between UCs, but additional program fees may apply.

Students can also participate in study-abroad programs or study at universities that are not affiliated with UC Berkeley or UCEAP. All courses to be used toward major/minor requirements should first be reviewed by the major advisor. In order for credit to transfer to your UC Berkeley transcript, the sponsoring institution must be a 4-year, degree-granting institution or assign credit through another university (see the program’s Academics pages for details). Please review the Berkeley Study Abroad guidelines for independent study abroad programs here.

Brittany

England

Ireland

Scotland

Wales

Currently, no programs in Wales are affiliated with UC Berkeley or UCEAP, but students can still participate and coursework can still be counted toward Celtic requirements. Participation in semester-length programs will require following the Independent Study Abroad program procedures, and transcripts will need to be submitted to the UC Berkeley Central Evaluation Unit for transfer credit.
