Students who are currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at their home university are invited to study abroad at the University of Haifa. The Semester / Year Academic Program grants you a unique study abroad experience where you will combine challenging academics with the opportunity to immerse yourself in an Israeli university. International students can choose to attend the program for one semester or for a full academic year.

Academics
Students are expected to take between three to five courses each semester. In addition to the courses that we offer, students in the program are welcome to enroll in any of our specialty programs: Honors Programs in Psychology, and Peace & Conflict Studies; and the Internship Program. All of the courses in the International School are taught in English and are fully accredited. Students who are proficient in Hebrew are welcome to take courses in all other departments of the university.

The professors and lecturers teaching in the International School are members of the university faculty who have distinguished careers in their respective fields. They bring to this program a high quality of academic and teaching experience.

Co-Curricular Activities
To complement the academic experience, students are encouraged to participate in a full range of social activities, including trips, tours, celebrations, and lectures, as well as our volunteer program.

Housing
Students are welcome and encouraged to live in the dormitory facilities on campus.
