Multidisciplinary Jewish Studies and English Literature
11 years of school is not enough to get into BIU. Since students study longer in Israel, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). For admission to a bachelor's program, you must successfully pass the entrance exams. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS or TOEFL exam. The minimum IELTS score is 6.5. The TOEFL score is not lower than 90.

BIU campus
The campus of BIU is located in Ramat Gan. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies.
There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. The educational institution provides students with everything for playing sports: from athletic grounds to various clubs. BIU regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
There are several options to stay in the country after graduation. One of them is to get an offer from an employer and apply for a work visa. Read more about this on the embassy website. Look for more immigration options in our article.
