About The Program

Outstanding students around the globe aspire to study in distinguished universities. Few of them are aware that already today it is possible to gain admission to one of the leading universities in the world on the basis of their matriculation grade average in their native country, while paying more reasonable tuition than the norm at comparable top universities. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, ranked 53 in the world and considered the top, premiere university in Israel, is opening its gates. Prestigious areas of study are now opened to new international students in the framework of an innovative admissions track for Bachelor's degree studies. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, students will be admitted directly to Bachelor's degree studies in their selected department, with no need to take the Psychometric Entrance Test. This unique track, the first of its kind in Israel, facilitates a challenging, personal experience in an international environment in Jerusalem, a multicultural and historical center.
