Israel\u2019s higher education proposed to add twenty-six additional international degree programs taught in English to make study in Israel more attractive. <\/strong>
\nCurrently, Israel\u2019s higher education comprises of 12,000 international students. Nevertheless, the Council for Higher Education in Israel (CHE) aims at doubling this number through intensive marketing.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s progressive higher education\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

CHE has established a <\/b>Study in Israel<\/b><\/a> initiative intended at increasing the number of international students found in Israeli universities and colleges to twofold.\u00a0<\/b>
\nIsrael\u2019s higher education has been progressive because out of the 12,000 international students studying in this nation, 6,000 of them are short-term learners as they are enrolled for summer courses or a semester.\u00a0<\/span>
\nCHE\u2019s Head of International Student Affairs, Marissa Gross Yarm, notes that nearly 5,000 international students undertake full degrees.\u00a0<\/span>
\nYarm\u2019s figures illustrate almost 2,000 bachelor\u2019s degree students, at least 1,800 master\u2019s degree students, about 1,300 postdocs, and nearly 8,00 Ph.D. students.<\/b><\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s higher education more appealing to North American students<\/b><\/h2>\n

Israel\u2019s higher education is more attractive to nations such as South Korea, India, China, France, Germany, Canada, and the US.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis is a positive trend because Israel has become more appealing to students from North America than ever witnessed.<\/b>
\nThe campaign deemed Study in Israel is projected to target students in India, China, and North America. This initiative will be instrumental in ensuring that the attractiveness of Israel\u2019s higher education is known worldwide.<\/span>
\nIsrael’s higher education is comprised of 62 institutions, and most international students are admitted to one of the eight public universities, such as the University of Haifa, Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University, and Bar-llan University, among others.\u00a0<\/span>
\nOn the other hand, the 26 new international degree programs being rolled out will cover areas, such as Jewish studies, innovation and entrepreneurship, agriculture, design, environmental studies, and STEM, among others.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nYarm asserts that these disciplines are ideal as they are attractive to international students.\u00a0<\/span>
\nConversely, according to Prof. Shlomo Biderman, the chairman of <\/span>VARAM<\/span><\/a>, the Board of Public Academic Colleges in Israel, Israel\u2019s higher education sector ought to redefine itself for it to remain relevant.\u00a0<\/span>
