Law Degree Programs

My name is Edvin and I am a Master's student in the Cyber Politics and Goverment Program at Aviv University. During this challenging period, I follow the programme online from abroad. During the programme, I have gained a lot of practical knowledge and have learned to study and apply the material. I was able to follow the lessons online and they were always informative. The instructors were always very helpful, adapting well to the situation at hand, and every lesson was active and interactive. All the teaching materials were easily accessible and I almost always had the opportunity to learn from the latest research. I had the opportunity to listen to several guest speakers and attend conferences and I also had to give several presentations in class on more and more interesting topics. Most importantly, for me, in addition to increasing my lexical knowledge, the programme taught me how to apply it in practice and gave me a comprehensive, integrated view of the political, social and economic implications of technological developments. Besides learning, I had the opportunity to assist the TAU Task Force. This small group of international students was committed to sharing real content about what was happening in Israel. The content they share on social media is a credible representation of reality, with interviews with professors and soldiers all giving a small slice of the events. They are also a safe bet in the international student community, who can pass on information first-hand. I am glad to have been part of this team.

While my academic experience was enriching, I found the lack of meaningful connections with both Israeli and Palestinian communities, both on and off-campus, disappointing. As an international student, I came to Israel expecting to understand its society. The university could benefit from fostering more inclusive initiatives that encourage dialogue and collaboration among diverse student groups.
