Some faculties accept students as Special Students. This status is applicable for one year only and is available to students who are not pursuing a degree at the Hebrew University.
Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree and fulfill the minimum Hebrew and English language requirements. Participation in specific courses requires approval from the department in which the student wishes to study. The Faculty of Social Sciences accepts special students to electives only. Students who do not have the required level of proficiency in Hebrew will need special permission from the faculty to participate in courses taught in English. Special Students in the Faculty of Science must have exemption level in both Hebrew and English.
Payment is calculated by yearly hours (details on Financial Information). When applying, candidates must submit a list of proposed courses for faculty approval.
Studies in the Teacher Certification program usually extend over two years. Practicing teachers and holders of advanced degrees may complete the program in one year. There are various tracks according to the student's background in Education or in the proposed area of specialization.
For further information visit the website of the School of Education.
The program is designated for students aged 35+ that are interested in studying an undergraduate degree at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The program accepts candidates aged 35+ that hold a high school graduation certificate equivalent to the Israeli Bagrut [the Psychometric Test is not required]. Students without Israeli Bagrut equivalency are given the possibility to complete a Ma'ale preparatory program.
Ma'ale students can study first and second year courses offered by the Faculty of Humanities and the School of Education, the Faculty of Social Sciences (Economics, Geography, Sociology and Athropology, Political Sciences, Communication and Journalism, Psychology), the Faculty of Science (except for excellence programs), the Faculty of Agriculture, the School of Social Work, the Business School and the department of Criminology.
Ma'ale students are special students which allows them to plan their studies flexibly. Students that meet course requirements (presence, paper submission, excercises and exams) and achieved a passing grade will receive academic credit points.
Students may transfer to full degree student status once they complete the minimum number of credits with the required grades.
The Magid Institute offers study counseling and guidance, and assists students during their studies.
