Studying israeli history and culture

Learning about Israeli and Jewish culture
Hello Akanksha,

If you are interested in Israeli and Jewish culture and history, there are several options that you might find suitable here in Israel.

Some Israeli universities offer summer programs or short-term programs in Israel studies, Jewish studies or Middle Eastern studies. These include Tel Aviv University, Bar Ilan University, the Hebrew University and more. These tracks are usually open to undergraduates and graduates with a high GPA.

Alternately, if you are interested in a full academic program, you can choose to study for MA in Israel studies as part of the different international programs. These (like the summer programs) are studied in English. The studies can be completed in 2 years and some in 3 semesters (around 1.5 years). You can find such tracks at Ben Gurion University, Haifa University, Tel Aviv University and more. Since you have completed your MBA, this option basically means completing another graduate degree, but you may be able to get certain exemptions from courses based on your previous studies. This depends on the universities.

I have attached a link to some more information on MA programs in Israel studies, If you would like to read about shorter programs please let me know and I will provide the information.

Regards,

Annabel
