Location:
Located in Tel Aviv, Israel's cultural, financial and industrial heartland, Tel Aviv University is the largest university in Israel and the biggest Jewish university in the world. It is a major center of teaching and research, comprising nine faculties, 106 departments, and 90 research institutes. Its origins go back to 1956, when three small education units - The Tel Aviv School of Law and Economics, an Institute of Natural Sciences, and an Institute of Jewish Studies - joined together to form the University of Tel Aviv. The Buchmann Faculty of Law is the largest law school in the country.
Academic Calendar:
For 2010, the Spring semester calendar begins on February 21. English-language courses are offered during the first eight-week period of the semester. No studies will take place during Passover vacation (March 24 - April 7). Thus, the first eight weeks will be over at the end of the first week of May. Cornell students will be able to take their exams immediately thereafter.
