Bar-Ilan University is the world’s leading Jewish institute of research and higher education. BIU enjoys a growing international reputation in the sciences and humanities and is fast becoming one of Israel’s technology incubators by actively engaging in technology transfer and commercialization.

Home to the largest student body in Israel, Bar-Ilan has been successful in maintaining a family-like atmosphere with a high level of personal attention. Since the institution’s inception in 1955, this nurturing community has proven to be a winning formula for moulding leaders in every field of human endeavour.

Home to the largest student body in the state with over 34,000 students, faculty and scientists on its main 135-acre campus just outside Tel Aviv and in five regional colleges across Israel, BIU is firmly committed to the Jewish people and its culture, as well as to deepening Jewish literacy among its diverse student population.

Now more than ever, Israel and the Diaspora need Bar-Ilan University: to bolster Jewish education for our youth, to strengthen our Zionist identity, to train the next generation of scientific and intellectual leadership and to build the foundations of a healthy, productive society.

From its start with the opening ceremonies and the beginning of classes with 56 students, to present day, Bar-Ilan University continues to grow and expand with the changing needs of society and cultural diversity. With the many degrees, programs and diploma studies offered at Bar-Ilan University, there is something for everyone.
