As an international student at BGU, you'll have access to hundreds of academic courses in English in various fields, one-on-one guidance, and unparalleled opportunities all while earning credits toward your degree. The BGU International team of academic and social counselors is here to help you find exactly what you're looking for – and to feel at home on our campus.
Since its inception, BGU has played a key role in the unique ecosystem where higher education, hi-tech, industry, business, medicine, and government come together to develop groundbreaking research and bring new applications to the market. As we believe that world challenges require multidisciplinary and comprehensive solutions, our students are actively encouraged to work together with our researchers, local and international companies, and partners, to solve our planet's greatest challenges – such as reusable energy, water conservation, public health – and we are at the forefront of these research efforts.
