Study Abroad Programs in Middle East

Few regions in the world inspire as much contention and fascination quite like the Middle East. With history from thousands of years and multiple civilizations, the region is as dynamic as it is awe-inspiring for students pursuing study abroad. The countries which make up the Middle East are, and will continue to be, important players on the international stage, as the world becomes increasingly globalized. The experience of study abroad in the Middle East, both academic and professional, will inevitably enhance your understanding of a region notoriously misunderstood, develop your skills in intercultural communication, and set your resume apart in future career opportunities.

June 13, 2025by: MERCILLINA IFEANYICHI - NigeriaProgram: Study Abroad Program

My name is Mercillina Ifenayichi, and I am currently enrolled in the Master’s program in Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University. I am from Nigeria, where I earned my degree in Architecture. My experience at Tel Aviv University has been truly amazing, starting from the very first day I arrived. I was able to pick up the keys to my room and settle in smoothly, without much stress. That same week was the orientation week organized by the Lowy International School. I attended most of the events and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, and I had the opportunity to meet students from many different countries. I also made some great friends during that time. The following week, we had a departmental orientation, and classes began. During that time, I met two fellow African students who have become my closest friends to this day. Studying Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University has opened my eyes to many environmental wonders in Israel. We’ve gone on numerous field trips, visited nature reserves, botanical gardens, and toured various companies involved in environmental work. Through this program, I’ve come to see how intentional and committed Israel is to environmental sustainability. As an international student, I have never felt like an outsider, despite the language differences. All my courses are taught in English, and the university has created a friendly and inclusive learning environment. The facilities and resources provided have made my academic journey smooth and enjoyable. I have access to both the e-library and the physical libraries on campus. Our department also has a relaxing student room, a dining area, and a kitchen for our use. One of the features I appreciate the most is the availability of recorded lectures. Being able to revisit the lessons through recorded videos is incredibly helpful. The lecturers are supportive and dedicated to helping us succeed in our studies. In conclusion, I believe Tel Aviv University is the best place I could be. Even the dormitories are built to high standards and are well-furnished. I have wonderful flat mates who are cooperative and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Tel Aviv University to students everywhere.
