Berkeley partnership
Do you want to develop your digital tech skills in Exeter and then amplify them in the centre of Silicon Valley?
The University of Exeter is a proud partner of the University of California, Berkeley's Sutardja Centre for Entrepreneurship (SCET).
This partnership, which at Exeter is hosted within the Engineering department, creates opportunities for students from Exeter’s MSc Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation programme to work with Berkeley’s students and faculty to hone and develop their entrepreneurial and innovational talents.
As a student on this programme, you'll benefit from access to specialist online materials, tailored content and guest lectures from Berkeley and will have the opportunity to build links and make contact with likeminded individuals. This partnership is built in to the programme, including the opportunity for students to attend a one week bootcamp at Berkeley’s SCET center in California during January 2023. This and other opportunities will be limited and competitive with funding available to contribute towards travel and living costs.
We’ll be sharing details of opportunities available to students early in the autumn term. If you have any questions in the meantime please don’t hesitate to enquire online.
“The experience in Berkeley was fantastic. The event was really unique in the way that it focused so much on venture capital as a means of funding and launching a business, it was a really interesting perspective to work around. The experience of building and leading a team to work on the idea was incredibly useful and really provides an interesting opportunity to work on your idea with people with new skills and mind-sets. Personally, it helped me refine my idea and to focus on the potential for commercial success, longevity and scale the business could achieve.”

The way you learn at postgraduate level may be different from what you have experienced before. Exeter’s approach to engineering education emphasises collaborative Problem/Project Based Learning, contextualised teaching and a focus on skills development and practical application of knowledge. A blend of traditional and innovative teaching and learning approaches will be deployed. Exeter Digital Enterprise Systems laboratory will provide hands-on learning experiences with the latest technologies underpinning the 4th Industrial revolution.
Learning and teaching activities (in/out of class)
A variety of teaching methods are used including lectures, tutorials, seminars, individual and group assignments, and laboratory sessions, electronically mediated work that is taught and assessed using a range of media such as video and VLE.
Assessment methods
Assessment techniques will include traditional examinations and assessed coursework, and the dissertation. These will be supplemented by smaller projects and formative assessment designed to give feedback. Assignments will take the form of case studies or reality based projects.
