Bachelor degree at BIU

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.

IELTS6.5
TOEFL iBT90

Master's degree at BIU

In order to enroll at BIU for a master's program, you will have to confirm knowledge of the English language. You can do this by passing the exam — IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum TOEFL score for admission is 79. IELTS — 6.5 or higher.

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.
