The Technion

In 1924, the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel's first university, opened its doors and began the historic task of preparing young men and women to build a new nation. Today, the Technion is Israel's primary science-technology university and the largest center of applied research. The Institute's 13,000 students can choose from 19 faculties, and from 49 undergraduate and 65 graduate programs in engineering, science, architecture, medicine and management.

Ranked among the top technological universities in the world, the Technion has a distinguished faculty of 550 that includes two Nobel Prize-winning scientists. These faculty members collaborate with leading scientists on research projects worldwide. The campus houses 40 research institutes and centers and nine interdisciplinary centers of excellence. Visiting academics and some 400 overseas graduate students provide an international atmosphere.

The Technion’s semester, summer and year-long programs in English are open to undergraduate and graduate students from all over the world.

You will get to know Israel as both the source of western civilization and scientific breakthroughs by travelling through the country, and by daily interaction with Israeli students and teachers.  

The bustling Technion campus presents a full range of “after-hours” activities.

Students blow off steam at fully- equipped sports facilities, are entertained by regularly- scheduled movies, concerts and shows, and chill out at Wednesday happenings, pubs and coffee houses.                       

Foreign students live on-campus, in modern, comfortable and fully-furnished apartments. Guides, advisors and tutors ease them into life at Technion, helping out with academic and personal matters.
