This year, a large number of new study programs will be opened, among them: the brain research school, international programs and more
Tel Aviv University maintains its position as the largest and most sought-after research university in Israel: approximately 29,000 students will study in XNUMX in the bachelor's, master's, third degree, certificate, international programs and special programs.
The president of Tel Aviv University, Prof. Yosef Klefter, noted that this year approximately 60 outstanding new faculty members will be admitted, among them returning researchers. This quality personnel joins about 50 new researchers who were recruited in the previous academic year and there is no doubt that it will enrich the university and strengthen its position.
Prof. Clifter further added that Tel Aviv University will work this year to expand the offer in the international programs in the English language. Along with study programs in the English language that exist in the Faculty of Medicine, Law, Management and Society, study programs in the humanities will also be added. This will contribute to the transformation of Tel Aviv University into a global university center, which will allow the reception of students and academic staff from around the world, as is customary in the world's leading universities.
Economics is the most sought-after subject
About 8,500 new students will start studying, of which about 5,000 are bachelor's degree students and about 3,500 master's degree students. The number of new students in 53 for bachelor's and master's degrees is similar to their number in 55. The number of candidates for a bachelor's degree is similar to last year. XNUMX% of the applicants are women, XNUMX% of those accepted are also women.
The most sought-after department of study for the first degree is the Department of Economics with approximately 1,750 enrollees and the Department of Computer Science with approximately 1,725 enrollees. The following departments in demand are: electrical engineering, psychology, law and the department of medicine, which is in sixth place with approximately 1,100 enrollees.
The Faculty of Social Sciences is the largest faculty, in the coming school year approximately 4,400 students will study there.
New curricula
News program in undergraduate studies
The Department of Computational Linguistics: a common track for computer science and linguistics, which provides a coordinated education in both fields both as a first step in an interdisciplinary research career and for the purpose of integration into the high-tech world.
The group is new in Latin American studies, Spain and Portugal as part of the multidisciplinary program in the humanities. The curriculum includes: literature, languages, politics, and Spanish and Portuguese studies.
The Interdisciplinary School of Brain Research
In XNUMX, the interdisciplinary school for brain research, which is the first of its kind in Israel, will be opened at Tel Aviv University. In the new school, outstanding students will study from the bachelor's degree through graduate degree programs to a doctorate in brain research for outstanding students.
The school will open its doors to students and scientists from abroad, will promote international research collaborations, and will place emphasis on the absorption of Israelis who return to us as part of the national effort known as 'bringing back minds'.
New programs in master's studies
A fast track for a master's degree in life sciences will be established, which will allow eligible students to start a master's degree already during the third year of the bachelor's degree.
A clinical track for the treatment of stress and trauma situations will be opened within the social work department. The track is designed to develop and promote skills for clinical care among social workers working in diverse institutions and engaged in the treatment of populations in stress and trauma situations
The international programs will be expanded
As part of the international programs, five new classes will be opened on diverse topics: Jewish studies combined with Christian texts; ENTH program - public health with specialization in emergency and disaster management; environmental quality; Archeology and history of Israel; Political science - leadership, communication and elections.

Avi,
The academy went through very difficult years and it has not yet recovered from the difficult years.
And because of the very difficult years that passed the academy here in Israel, two things happened, on the one hand, doctors left the country and went to look for jobs in the USA, and on the other hand, students are not going to study science (physics, chemistry, mathematics) because they know that it is impossible here in Israel to engage in basic research . Pay attention to the list. Students often go to study economics, law, psychology - these are fields that lead to a profession and money. These are not fields that lead to basic research as a vocation in life. And the fact that students do not turn to fields that lead to basic research (including fields in the humanities) is evidence of the collapse of higher education. And they talked about it recently following Dan Shechtman winning the Nobel Prize.
That's why I wrote that I find it hard to believe that Tel Aviv University will recruit 60 research faculty members.
If I'm not mistaken, and I'm not, Bar Ilan already has a brain research school.
Someone is twisting facts a bit in this article.
Legly, 60 is a drop in the ocean.
It really sounds like an advertisement when you write "the largest and most sought after research university in Israel".
There is a sentence in this announcement, "this year they will admit about 60 outstanding new faculty members".
I have a hard time believing this sentence. I can't believe that Tel Aviv University took in 60 new faculty members.
If this were true then there would not be such a massive brain drain to the USA.
It is enough to look around the USA and see many names of Israelis in universities.
