  • Undergraduate students who wish to attend Hebrew University for general interest courses to be counted as elective study.
  • We normally give priority to applications for a one-­semester or full-­year stay with (in the case of undergraduate students) a full course load. We will also consider applications to take part in the Summer Ulpan program (end July to end September) or a summer course.
  • We are now inviting applications for study through June 2018.

Applicants must meet the OSAP residency requirement of having lived in Ontario for twelve consecutive months directly prior to commencing full-­time post-­secondary studies.

    • Letter of recommendation from a professor with whom you have studied

  2.
