Hi, i am currently finishing up my undergraduate degree here in Israel through Touro, and I am considering my options for furthering my education here, as I plan to live here for the foreseeable future. I am especially interested in getting a degree in Psychology, but all the programs I have heard of are in Hebrew, in which I am not nearly proficient enough to attend classes. Are there any such programs, in-person or online, that are given in English? Thank you so much!

Graduate Tracks in Clinical Psychology
Hello Mindy,
Unfortunately, there are currently no master’s programs in psychology that are offered in English, all academic tracks in this field in Israel are taught in Hebrew.
Since you said you intend on living and working in Israel in the future, may I point out that to practice psychology in Israel, one must obtain a license from the Ministry of Health, and to do so, must first complete their master’s degree (studied in Israel as M.A programs, and not PsyD) and a 2-year internship. This program has a significant clinical component and is currently not conducted in online tracks.
I would advise you to contact the academic institutions offering graduate tracks in Hebrew to inquire whether they may be able to assist you with adjusting studied to your needs regarding language requirements. These include The University of Haifa, Reichman University, Bar Ilan University, and more.
