Dear Students!

We invite you to STUDY THE WORLD and LEARN THROUGH EXPERIENCE and join the STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM, Spring 2026.

As one of the world's leading research institutions, at Tel Aviv University, we place great importance on our role in the international arena and cultivating close relationships with various entities worldwide. We have over 200 partners in nearly 50 countries, and we take seriously our mission to connect to this impressive network, including university staff and you—our students. At Tel Aviv University, our drive is to constantly discover new things in our journey into the unknown. Our students participate in this journey with doubt, determination, healthy curiosity, and experiential learning, which uniquely characterizes Tel Aviv University. We call this Tauism. In our student exchange programs, our unique approach, Tauism, extends globally, enabling our students to explore new worlds while simultaneously building a network of international connections that accompanies them along the way.

The student exchange program allows individuals to study a semester abroad without paying additional tuition to the host institute. Tuition payments continue directly to TAU. In certain cases, Erasmus scholarships of around 600-800 Euros per month, plus travel expenses, will be allocated to students. Preference is given to those from diverse backgrounds, which can be declared by the student on their application.

 

How to choose a destination that will suit you the most: Do you meet the basic requirements to apply for the student exchange program (mentioned here) and would like some pointers on how to proceed? Field of studies: In every university, you can check the field of studies in which the exchange is offered. Make sure to match your degree to similar fields at the host institutions. Level of degree for application: You should match your degree level to the level that is offered at the host institution. For example: if at Freie Berlin you have to study Liberal Arts for your MA to be able to apply for their exchange program, you should ONLY apply if you are an MA student of Liberal Arts at TAU. Check the semester dates: Each university starts and ends its academic semesters on different dates. Make sure you can complete your finals at TAU, and only then leave for the exchange. If the dates overlap, it is advised not to apply. Notice the language requirements: Each institute states the level of English required for the exchange. Some require basic knowledge of the local language as well. Make sure you fit the requirements, and if a language test certificate is requested, it is advised to apply only if you can pass the exam easily without further studies. * Please note that scholarship offers are limited (please check each institution for information). Students who require a scholarship to participate in the program should only apply to destinations where funding is offered and should mention this in their application.
