Intensive Hebrew Language (Ulpan)

Students interested in learning or improving their Hebrew study can apply to the OSP for our intensive Hebrew language program (Ulpan). Participants can choose either a four-week or six-week course during the summer or winter. Please note that the Ulpan is mandatory for all semester/academic year students and is included in the program; these students do not need to apply to the Ulpan separately.

Full-Time Research Internships

Students can attend BGU to partake in an academic research internship that is tailor-made to their interests academically, professionally, and personally. Applicants are usually matched with a university department, center, or professor. Internships can be done at any point of the year, as long as a placement is available, and are usually a minimum of three months.
