Through stimulating courses, study tours, and internships, participants gain practical experience in Jerusalem, a living laboratory and their second classroom. In addition, they join a thriving community of international students from 90+ countries and benefit from personalized support, social activities and trips designed to complement their studies and immerse them in Israeli culture.

Depending on the combination, some of the tracks are offered in Israel exclusively at Hebrew University. In addition, affiliation with HUJI’s renowned faculties of social sciences and humanities, as well as the AACSB-accredited Hebrew University Business School, gives students exposure to some of the world’s leading researchers in their fields.
