Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design - Student Exchange Program

One or two semesters of study at Israel's oldest and most prestigious art and design academy, in fields including fine arts, photography, visual communication, animation, fashion/jewelry design, ceramics and glass, industrial design, architecture, and material culture. Courses in Hebrew or English; a week-long Hebrew course precedes the spring semester. Exchange students are housed at Hebrew University dormitories. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: this is a university exchange, not an open-enrollment program -- applicants must be nominated by a partner institution's international office (Bezalel partners with ~100 art schools worldwide), so it is not available to individuals applying directly without a partner-school affiliation.

Duration

Semester — 1-2 semesters; spring semester runs mid-February to end of June

Cost

(unconfirmed) typically home-institution tuition applies under exchange agreements, not separate Bezalel tuition -- confirm with home school's study-abroad office

How to sign up

Must be nominated by your home institution's international/study-abroad office, which emails Bezalel's exchange office with your name, department, email, and intended semester.
