What could be more appropriate than studying the Hebrew language in the land of its birth?

British University Students: sandwich years, intercalated years or years abroad
The British Friends of the Hebrew University are currently negotiating with the faculties of various UK universities to gain accreditation and recognition for Hebrew University undergraduate courses.
Although the Hebrew University is not part of the Erasmus scheme, a number of faculties at UK universities encourage students to spend time at the Hebrew University. If you are a current student at Cambridge, Manchester, Oxford, SOAS or UCL, contact your tutor to find out about the opportunities available.
Call or email Jo on 020 7691 1478 or students@bfhu.org with any questions, or when you're thinking about enrolling, and we'll give you information on how to apply. See our Scholarships pages for information on how to apply for financial assistance.
Bachelor's Degrees at the Hebrew University
All overseas students entering the Hebrew University must take part in the Mechina programme. Mechina students take part in an intensive Hebrew programme, bringing you up to the level required for classes at the main University, and 'revision courses' in a range of subjects broadly relevant to your degree.
You study on one of three 'trends': Maths and Sciences or Humanities and Social Sciences.
The Hebrew University has a world-class reputation and each year is ranked within the top 70 in the Times Higher Education Supplement league tables of over 1000 universities worldwide. It's home to one of the European Union's only Centres of Excellence, the International Centre for Neural Computation, amongst many other leading research and teaching institutes.
You can find some information about campus housing on the University website, as well as an off-campus flatshare noticeboard. We will help you with housing in the dormitories, and can also help to put you in touch with recognised flatshare and letting agents around Jerusalem.
See our Scholarships pages for information on how to apply for financial assistance. If you'd like more information on any of the full-time study courses, on the practicalities of studying in Jerusalem, or want to enrol, call Jo on 020 7691 1478 or email students@bfhu.org
