Graduate Year Program- The Graduate Year Program is designed to meet the special needs of qualified graduate students from abroad who wish to spend a year at the Hebrew University, whether they are M.A. or Ph.D. candidates or recent college graduates who have not yet commenced a program of graduate study. M.A. and Ph.D. students are offered seminars and research tutorials designed to deepen their knowledge in their chosen fields of interest; recent college graduates may choose from the wide variety of seminars and tutorials offered. While this program does not offer a degree, a full transcript will be provided in order to facilitate the transfer of credit to the student's home university. Students who decide to pursue a graduate degree at the Hebrew University in either the Rothberg International School or the faculties of Humanities or Social Sciences may use this year to improve their Hebrew and to fulfill certain degree requirements.
