The British Friends of the Hebrew University was founded in 1926 with a mission to support all aspects of the development and academic research excellence of the Hebrew University.

“The University, whilst trying to maintain the highest scientific level, must, at the same time, be rendered accessible to all classes of the people…the doors of our libraries, lecture rooms and laboratories must be opened widely to them all”

The British Friends of the Hebrew University support student and academic collaboration, helping where possible with scholarships and bursaries and more broadly promote the University’s achievements.
