Testimonial

Brendon Carlill, 2003/04

After 12 months in Rothberg’s One Year Programme, I came back as a Visiting Research Fellow a year or two later and loved it. Cliché as it might be, but Jerusalem truly is a rich tapestry of ancient and modern cultures, great food and incredible geography. Hebrew University is not considered one of the world’s best universities for no reason.
