This two-year program is intended for foreign students and new immigrants who hold a first degree in natural/medical sciences and wish to continue their studies as a researcher. It is given completely in English and classes are taken together with Israeli students. The program leads to an M.Sc. degree or, if extended, to a Ph.D.

An average grade of 82% is required for admission. An average grade of 84% or more entitles you to a scholarship. Part of the requirements is successfully completing 28 academic credits.
