My journey to UC Berkeley started with the application process, where I had to present my case to a jury. Being selected with a 75% grant felt surreal, and what made it even more special was receiving the remaining funding from a donor who has been supporting Habib students for the past five years.

Learn Abroad is about attending academic classes in a different educational and cultural setting, allowing students to gain global exposure while fulfilling degree requirements. In contrast, Research Abroad involves hands-on participation in research projects, contributing to the creation of new knowledge under the supervision of international faculty or researchers.
At Habib University, both AHSS and DSSE students are eligible to apply for the Study Abroad Program. These opportunities include prestigious programs such as the Stanford International Honors Program (IHP), UC Berkeley Summer Session, and University of Michigan Summer School, among others.
On the other hand, Research Abroad is currently limited to DSSE students only. One such opportunity includes the Research Internship at Texas A&M University, which allows students to engage in cutting-edge research and gain practical experience in their field.
Both pathways provide unique international experiences, but they cater to different academic interests and career goals.
You can book the ticket yourself or can ask the Study Abroad Team to make the ticket arrangements for you. However, if you book the ticket yourself, please make sure that you share your complete travel itinerary with the Study Abroad Team before your departure.
Habib University offers generous financial support to exceptional and deserving students who aspire to experience a summer semester abroad. Based on their academic performance and selection scores, students can receive a substantial amount of scholarship, enabling them to undertake their entire study abroad journey fully funded by the institution.
What truly distinguishes this program is the comprehensive support system in place. Over the course of eight months, the dedicated Study Abroad Team provides consistent, personalized guidance.
