Description
Immerse Yourself... participate in a truly Israeli experience. As a student of the Overseas Student Program, surround yourself with the culture, society, and people of Israel. The Overseas Student Program (OSP) of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev offers qualified students the opportunity to enroll in semester or year programs. The university setting in Beer-Sheva is ideal for studying Hebrew and learning about Israel from within. Living in the university dorms encourages interaction with Israeli students and the campus community.
The OSP flexibly combines coursework in English with hands-on experience though community internships and individual research projects with BGU faculty. Whether you prefer spending hours in a biology lab, teaching English to Bedouin children, or exploring the delicate ecology of the Negev with desert scientists, the OSP will help design an internship or research project to suit your particular interests. Start off the year with a six week intensive Hebrew Language Ulpan followed by an optional kibbutz stay. Spend your winter break on an archeological dig, discovering Israel's ancient history and hidden treasures. Throughout the semester, join your fellow students on action packed trips around Israel. See the ancient stones of Jerusalem, snorkel along the coral reefs of Eilat, climb Masada at dawn, and go tubing down the Jordan River.
