Study in Israel in English (English programs at Israeli universities and colleges)

Study in Israel in English (English programs at Israeli universities and colleges)

OHMYGOSSIP — Find out about all the different possibilities of studying abroad in Israel! Listing of programs taught in English for students from abroad at undergraduate and graduate levels, and summer programs.

There are nine universities and several dozen colleges in Israel, which are recognized and academically supervised by the Council for Higher Education in Israel. In addition, Israel founded a university in Ariel in the West Bank, which is recognized and academically supervised by the Council for Higher Education in Judea and Samaria. As many course offerings are varied, Israeli universities are considered to be of top quality, and they are inexpensive to attend.

Israel’s quality university education is largely responsible for spurring the country’s high tech boom and rapid economic development. The primary difference between a university and a college in Israel is that only a university can confer doctorate degrees, and therefore tends to be more research-oriented than the more teaching-oriented colleges.
