MBA Programs in English at Tel Aviv University

 

 

Tel Aviv University offers two MBA tracks in English: IMBA (International MBA) and Executive MBA; the latter is a partnership between TAU's Recanati Business School and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

The IMBA places much emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation while the EMBA focuses on managing large organizations and projects on a national or international scale.

 

 

The International MBA is a one year program in which students attend three consecutive semesters. Participants of the program study four days a week and may intern in Israeli and international companies located in Israel. The program is divided into five modules, the first two modules are comprised of mandatory core courses, and the three other modules are mostly electives.

 

After the first semester, students choose a field of expertise: entrepreneurship, sustainability, marketing or finance. The program encourages first hand experience and students have many internship options as well as personal projects and ventures that may lead to starting their own business upon graduation.

 

 

The Executive MBA track is collaboration between Tel Aviv University and Northwestern University. The two year (4 semesters) track can be studied in one of two ways – two days a week (Thursdays and Fridays) or a full intensive week of six consecutive days, studied once in eight weeks. As much focus is placed on international business world, the program also includes elective study trips abroad.
