DETAILS

Housing

Students will live in HUJ dormitories.

Insurance

All participants must submit proof of health insurance coverage through family insurance coverage or through their home institution. In addition, HUJ provides health insurance. All participants will be required to purchase the International Student Identity Card (ISIC), available through the OIS. In addition to discounts on travel and activities, this card provides supplemental insurance, including coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation.

Visas and Passports

A valid passport allows entry into Israel. Students who do not have a passport or whose passport will expire within six months of the end of the program should apply for a new one as soon as possible. Student visas are required for visitors staying in the country for more than three months. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem will provide information on how to obtain a student visa once you have been accepted. Students who are Israeli citizens (even if they also carry a second nationality) must contact the consulate regarding their military status, and must travel to and from Israel on an Israeli passport.
