Open University of Israel

1. 1

   The short answer

   The Open University of Israel is a public distance-education university in Israel, suited to students who need a remote study format and want a university recognized by the Council of Higher Education. It is a practical option for applicants who are comparing public universities in Israel and need flexibility.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The university is a distance-education institution, so study is organized around remote learning rather than a traditional on-campus model. The programme catalogue is still being compiled, so check the official website for the current subjects and degrees offered.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and confirm the current entry requirements on the website. Because it is a distance-education university, also check how documents are submitted, whether any local support or study arrangements are needed, and whether your chosen programme has additional requirements.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee in the information available here; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. The tuition currency is USD, and you should also budget separately for living costs in Israel.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   Instruction language is not published, so confirm it before applying. If you are moving from abroad, check the admissions requirements, how the distance-learning format works for students outside Israel, what documents you need, and whether any time-zone, exam, or residency requirements apply.

6. 6

   How it compares

   Israel has 24 universities in total, and this one is one of the ten public universities recognized by the Council of Higher Education. That makes it part of the public higher-education group in a country with a broader university sector, with the added distinction of a distance-education model.
