M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences Virtual Info Session

 

This two year program is intended for foreign students and new immigrants who hold a first degree in natural/medical sciences and wish to continue their studies as a researcher. It is given completely in English and classes are taken together with Israeli students. The program leads to a M.Sc. degree or, if extended, to a PhD.  
An average grade of 82% is required for admission. An average grade of 84% or more entitles you to a scholarship.   Part of the requirements is successfully completing 28 academic credits.    
Acceptance to the program is a two-step process: 
You send scans of original documents showing your graduation certificate and most importantly your class list and grades your bachelor diploma and transcripts.  I will submit these documents to the Office of Overseas Students’ Admission which 'translates' them into Hebrew University equivalents for evaluation. In the second step you need to find a supervisor who will oversee your research during your studies and guide the writing of your thesis.  
Candidates from non-English-speaking countries and/or candidates who did not previously study at an institution of higher education where the language of instruction is English must submit proof of sufficient English proficiency.

In the event that this report is not sent timely, the chair will consult with PI and accompanying committee regarding the students' progress and consider an extension for submitting the report.

In extreme cases, wherein the student has not submitted the report after the extension was granted, and in accordance with the accompanying committees' recommendations, the chair will halt the student's stipend and inform the Authority for Research Students, accordingly. The stipend will be resumed, pending the submission of the report and approval of the accompanying committee.    The submission format is available here.
