Agriculture studies in Israel
Hello Daniel,
If you have a job in Israel it's great because usually the problem for students is to find a job that will fit their schedule. There are a few institutes in Israel that offer agriculture studies for international students, among them: The Weizmann Institute of Science, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and The Ben Gurion University of the Negev. Each institute offer different admission but in general they all ask the candidates to present an undergraduate degree in biology, biotechnology, agriculture, animal sciences, food sciences or any other related fields with a GPA of 80 or higher. Students that did not come from an English speaking country, they must pass an English proficiency test like TOEFL (with a score of 89) or IELTS (6.7).
I advise you to contact at least a few of those institutes to get more information and to see if you need to change your visa to a students visa before starting the enrollment process.
I've attached a link at the end of my message to an article about the admission and different institutes you can choose from.
