A Guide to Studying Abroad in Tel Aviv

Popular Ways to Study in Tel Aviv

Israel is about the size of New Jersey, but there is an incredible amount of diversity packed into this tiny country. One of the best cities for international students is Tel Aviv, the liberal hub with a variety of universities, corporate offices, fun nightlife and a delicious culinary scene for you to explore! 

Popular subjects to study abroad in Tel Aviv. Not surprisingly given Israel’s unique geopolitical position, popular subjects to study in Tel Aviv include history, international studies, and religious studies. Tel Aviv is also home to several Hebrew and Arabic language programs, although you don't necessarily need to have previous experience in either language to enroll. Colloquially referred to as Silicon Wadi, Tel Aviv is also an up-and-coming location to study technology and business due to its significant investment in the sector. 

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. With a variety of short term, summer programs as well as a few long term programs for a semester or year, you can get college credit for studying in Tel Aviv almost year round. The most of the diverse range of programs are offered during the summer, including short courses in conflict resolution, business innovation, and entrepreneurship. These make for great personal and professional development opportunities to add to your college transcript! 

Attending universities vs. other program types. Attending a university sponsored program versus an external provider program will be a key piece of your decision making when studying abroad in Tel Aviv. If your university does not offer their own program or faculty-led trip, have no fear — there are other great semester opportunities. 

While studying abroad in Tel Aviv, you can also enroll in extracurricular transfer credits, especially in the form of summer short courses. Once you're actually studying in Tel Aviv, the atmosphere on campus tends to be more casual than your home campus, with friendly teaching styles and close access to faculty. Although your schedule may vary depending on program, standard Israeli classes usually begin around 9:00 a.m. and finish around 3:00 p.m.
