Internships can be conducted in all 6 BGU faculties, in all fields of research.

About Be’er Sheva

Beer Sheva is known as the capital of the Negev Desert. Located at the northern tip of the Negev Desert, Beer Sheva is also one of Israels fastest growing cities. ֲ Home to Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva has a large student population and a vibrant culture for young adults. The student community is very social and offers many opportunities for Masa Fellows to take part in student initiatives and activities. As a result, the area around the university has a college town feel, filled with entertaining nightlife. ֲ Beer Sheva also has a large immigrant population and many Bedouin communities in the nearby areas. Fellows are encouraged to volunteer with these communities to better understand local issues of coexistence.

Safety and security

Whether you are a current or soon-to-be fellow or parent/guardian, we invite you to watch our Safety and Security video from Masa’s Chief Security Officer, Amir Keinan. This interactive video summarizes and addresses Masa’s main safety and security topics; you can choose the order in which you want to watch. Upon arrival, fellows will also receive a full safety and security briefing from their program organizer.
