A note about this website for prospective students: An immense amount of information on all the courses is available at the Hebrew University's own website. We have tried not to repeat that information here, but rather to explain the experience, and supply useful information, for British students.
In particular, the How to Apply section of the University website is aimed at students from other countries. Before you apply, refer to our How to Apply information for the relevant contact details, prices, deadlines and details.
