Study in Israel 2026

The academic year varies by institution, so the first thing to check is how your university structures teaching and registration. With 24 universities in the country, students can study at places such as Ariel University Center of Samaria, Bar-Ilan University, and Jerusalem University College.

Housing is usually something to line up early, since the main question in the first term is where you will stay and how close you want to be to campus. Your university will be the best place to start when you look for student housing and orientation support.

Daily life on campus can involve both Hebrew and English, so the language you use may depend on your program and the setting. New arrivals should expect to spend the first term learning practical routines for classes, housing, and everyday errands.

Israel’s price level was 113 compared with the US in 2023, so students often want to plan carefully for living costs. GDP per capita PPP was 46,151 US dollars, and that gives a sense of the country’s broader economic background as you decide whether it fits your study plans.
