Cal co-oversees three United States Department of Energy National Laboratories, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for the U.S. Branch of Energy. 

Berkeley personnel, graduated class, and specialists have won 72 Nobel Prizes (counting 30 graduated class Nobel laureates), 9 Wolf Prizes, 13 Fields Medals (counting 3 graduated class medalists), 22 Turing Awards, 45 MacArthur Fellowships, 20 Academy Awards, 14 Pulitzer Prizes[18] and 105 Olympic gold decorations (47 silver and 33 bronze). To date, alongside Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley researchers and scientists have found 16 substance components of the occasional table (californium, seaborgium, berkelium, einsteinium, fermium, lawrencium, and so forth.) – more than whatever other college in the world. Lawrence Livermore Lab likewise found or co-found six synthetic components (113 to 118). Berkeley is an establishing individual from the Association of American Universities and keeps on having high research action with $730.7 million in innovative work uses in the financial year finishing June 30, 2014.In 1866, the private College of California bought the area containing the flow Berkeley grounds. Since it needed adequate assets to work, it in the end converged with the state-run Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College to shape the University of California, the main full-educational modules state funded college in the state. 

Ten employees and right around 40 understudies made up the new University of California when it opened in Oakland in 1869. Frederick H. Billings was a trustee of the College of California and recommended that the school be named out of appreciation for the Anglo-Irish scholar George Berkeley. In 1870, Henry Durant, the originator of the College of California, turned into the main president. With the finish of North and South Halls in 1873, the college moved to its Berkeley area with 167 male and 222 female understudies and held its first classes.

Starting in 1891, Phoebe Apperson Hearst made a few huge endowments to Berkeley, subsidizing various projects and new structures, and supporting, in 1898, a global rivalry in Antwerp, Belgium, where French modeler Émile Bénard presented the triumphant configuration for a grounds end-all strategy. In 1905, the University Farm was set up close Sacramento, eventually turning into the University of California, Davis. By the 1920s, the quantity of grounds structures had become significantly, and included twenty structures outlined by engineer John Galen Howard.

Robert Gordon Sproul served as president from 1930 to 1958. By 1942, the American Council on Education positioned UC Berkeley second just to Harvard University in the quantity of recognized departments.[31]During World War II, taking after Glenn Seaborg's then-mystery disclosure of plutonium, Ernest Orlando Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory started to contract with the U.S. Armed force to build up the nuclear bomb. UC Berkeley material science educator J. Robert Oppenheimer was named investigative leader of the Manhattan Project in 1942. Along with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (in the past the Radiation Lab), Berkeley is presently an accomplice in overseeing two different labs, Los Alamos National Laboratory (1943) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1952). 

Initially, military preparing was mandatory for male students, and Berkeley housed an ordnance for that reason. In 1917, Berkeley's ROTC project was built up, and its School of Military Aeronautics prepared future pilots, including Jimmy Doolittle, who graduated with a B.A. in 1922. Both Robert McNamara and Frederick C. Weyand moved on from UC Berkeley's ROTC program, winning B.A. degrees in 1937 and 1938, separately. In 1926, future armada naval commander Chester W. Nimitz built up the main Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at Berkeley. Amid World War II, the military expanded its nearness on grounds to enlist more officers, and by 1944, more than 1,000 Berkeley understudies were selected in the V-12 Navy College Training Program and maritime preparing school for diesel engineering. The Board of Regents finished mandatory military preparing at Berkeley in 1962. 

Amid the McCarthy period in 1949, the Board of Regents received a hostile to comrade dependability vow. Various employees protested and were dismissed; ten years went before they were restored with back pay.

In 1952, the University of California turned into a substance separate from the Berkeley grounds. Every grounds was given relative independence and its own Chancellor. At that point president Sproul accepted administration of the whole University of California framework, and Clark Kerr turned into the principal Chancellor of UC Berkeley.Berkeley picked up a notoriety for understudy activism in the 1960s with the Free Speech Movement of 1964 and resistance to the Vietnam War. In the very advanced People's Park dissent in 1969, understudies and the school clashed over utilization of a plot of area; the National Guard was brought in and brutality emitted.

Hearst Museum of Anthropology.Animal-rights activists have undermined employees utilizing creatures for research.
