Qualified students from abroad who have completed their bachelor’s degree may pursue an M.A. degree taught in English at an Israeli institution of higher education. Courses, seminars and tutorials are taught in English by university faculty members and distinguished visitors; they are recognized by the university as equivalent to courses in the departmental degree programs (which are taught in Hebrew). Students with a sufficient command of Hebrew also have the option of taking graduate courses in the faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences. These M.A. programs generally extend over two years.
