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.
