Situated at the top of Mount Carmel with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, and nestled beside the Carmel National Forest, the University of Haifa’s International School offers an ideal setting for a Study Abroad or Graduate Studies experience. The University of Haifa, established in 1972, is the leading university in Israel in the Social Sciences, Marine Research, Neurosciences, Education, and more.

 

UHaifa is home to 6 faculties, 10 schools, and 57 research centers. It is the first institute of higher education in Israel to commit to focusing on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The university’s faculty and student population is unique in its composition. We host an exciting and inspiring cultural mosaic of secular and religious Jews, Christian and Muslim Arabs, Druze, Bedouins, and Circassians, new immigrants, native Israelis, and a growing number of international students and staff from more than 90 countries. UHaifa is also dedicated to improving students’ skills-sets by introducing them to innovation concepts and practices, preparing them for today’s dynamic job market.  

A microcosm of Israeli society, the UHaifa is the most pluralistic institution of higher learning in Israel and serves as an example of how excellent research and teaching are conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and inclusion.
