The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel’s first university and a symbol of the cultural rebirth of the Jewish nation in its ancestral homeland, is a multidisciplinary institution of higher learning and research.
It is a scientific centre of international repute, where thousands of young Israelis and international students receive a university education with an accent on excellence; where advanced post-graduate study and research are of great focus; and where special programs attract many overseas students to pursue degrees or earn credits for transfer.
The Hebrew University has three key functions:
- To serve the State of Israel by training its scientific, educational and professional manpower;
- To serve the Jewish people by preserving and expanding the Jewish cultural, spiritual and intellectual heritage;
- To serve humanity by extending the frontiers of knowledge.
