Why Hebrew U is THE study abroad destination

Very few student exchange programs are as comprehensive, immersive and fulfilling as a semester abroad at Hebrew University’s Rothberg International School. Classes are taught in English by Israel’s leading professors and prominent professors from abroad, and the university is consistently ranked Israel’s best, and one of the top universities in the Asia/Europe region.

Academic excellence isn’t the only reason you should consider Hebrew U. The office of student affairs puts on events, hikes, and trips all over the country, so when you’re not doing homework, you can be sure to have your hands full! Since Israel is quite small, it’s easy to traverse the entire country within the space of one semester. The social life on campus is unbeatable, and on top of the diverse student body of Israeli Jews and Arabs, Muslims and Christians, Rothberg International School boasts dozens of nationalities that come to study every semester. You could find yourself rooming with Japanese and Argentinians, sitting in class with Australians and Estonians, and having lunch with South Koreans and South Africans. It’s an unparalleled multicultural experience that exposes you to new cultures, traditions and perspectives.

And the most compelling reason to choose Hebrew U? Jerusalem. As the heart of the three major monotheistic religions, and as one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, a semester in Jerusalem offers something that can’t be found elsewhere. Mount Scopus campus straddles both the eastern and western parts of the city, leading to a fascinating cultural experience. The news, the politics, the history, the conflict, the spirituality, the people – this is the go-to destination for anyone looking to understand more about the world and the issues it faces.
