Colleges and Universities in Israel

Students apply to and are accepted by specific university faculties and departments. Israel’s higher education system consists of:

• Universities - bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees
• The Open University - bachelor's and master's degrees
• Academic colleges - bachelor’s degrees
• Academic teacher training colleges - B.Ed. degrees
• Regional colleges - academic courses which give credit towards degrees awarded by sponsoring universities
• Extension campuses of foreign institutions of higher education

By law, the minimum length of study for a bachelor's degree is three years. Most bachelor degree programmes at universities in Israel require three years of intensive study, in a single or double major. Exceptions are nursing, engineering, architecture, and law degrees, were degrees are granted after four years of study.
