  Hebrew University - Rothberg International School Preparatory Program  

The Preparatory Program (Mechina) provides an introduction to academic studies and language instruction to recent high school graduates who plan to continue their undergraduate university studies in Israel. The year-long program serves as a gateway to the Hebrew-speaking Israeli society, while helping the student develop and refine the learning skills necessary for admission to the university in the following year. A supportive environment helps the student to become independent in a new country, culture and academic system. Academic and career counseling is provided.

Two tracks of study are offered: (1) Humanities and Social
Sciences; (2) Exact and Life Sciences.

The program consists of intensive Hebrew and English language
instruction, courses in Judaic/Israel studies, Mathematics or Statistics, and introductory courses which parallel regular university departmental courses. Most of the courses are taught in Hebrew.
