A lifelong dream!
July 05, 2025by: Carmela Dilettoso - ItalyProgram: Graduate Programs at The Lowy International SchoolMy experience at Tel Aviv University has been wonderful and unforgettable. As a mature woman with university education in both Italy and Switzerland, I deeply appreciate this opportunity. It is rich in learning, and I speak not only from an academic perspective but also from life experience. It was my dream to study at the Faculty of Medicine, and this Master’s in Disaster Management allowed me to fulfill that dream. Beyond that, it enabled me to understand the critical importance of managing emergencies and disasters. The wealth of knowledge I gained and the experiences I had—including field exercises like search and rescue training—will be incredibly useful and remain unforgettable. I highly recommend this university. If you are looking for excellent teaching in a welcoming, multicultural environment full of experiences—and all set in the beautiful backdrop of a city that captivates you with its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich history—Tel Aviv University is the perfect choice.

June 13, 2025by: MERCILLINA IFEANYICHI - NigeriaProgram: Study Abroad ProgramMy name is Mercillina Ifenayichi, and I am currently enrolled in the Master’s program in Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University. I am from Nigeria, where I earned my degree in Architecture. My experience at Tel Aviv University has been truly amazing, starting from the very first day I arrived. I was able to pick up the keys to my room and settle in smoothly, without much stress. That same week was the orientation week organized by the Lowy International School. I attended most of the events and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, and I had the opportunity to meet students from many different countries. I also made some great friends during that time. The following week, we had a departmental orientation, and classes began. During that time, I met two fellow African students who have become my closest friends to this day. Studying Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University has opened my eyes to many environmental wonders in Israel. We’ve gone on numerous field trips, visited nature reserves, botanical gardens, and toured various companies involved in environmental work. Through this program, I’ve come to see how intentional and committed Israel is to environmental sustainability. As an international student, I have never felt like an outsider, despite the language differences. All my courses are taught in English, and the university has created a friendly and inclusive learning environment. The facilities and resources provided have made my academic journey smooth and enjoyable. I have access to both the e-library and the physical libraries on campus. Our department also has a relaxing student room, a dining area, and a kitchen for our use. One of the features I appreciate the most is the availability of recorded lectures. Being able to revisit the lessons through recorded videos is incredibly helpful. The lecturers are supportive and dedicated to helping us succeed in our studies. In conclusion, I believe Tel Aviv University is the best place I could be. Even the dormitories are built to high standards and are well-furnished. I have wonderful flat mates who are cooperative and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Tel Aviv University to students everywhere.

June 11, 2025by: Hannah K. - IsraelProgram: Graduate Programs at The Lowy International SchoolDespite the complexities of the ongoing conflict, Tel Aviv University (TAU) offers an outstanding academic environment where excellence thrives. As a master’s student, I was continually impressed by the dynamic curriculum, which blended theoretical depth with real-world applications. The courses were not only intellectually stimulating but also incredibly diverse, covering cutting-edge developments in my field. What truly set the program apart were the professors—renowned experts who balanced rigorous scholarship with a genuine passion for teaching. Their accessibility and enthusiasm created a collaborative atmosphere where lively debates and innovative ideas flourished. The university’s commitment to academic excellence was reflected in its students as well. My peers came from varied backgrounds, yet all shared a remarkable drive to learn and contribute. This high caliber of discussion and teamwork elevated the entire experience. A standout memory was our research workshop in Cyprus, where we collaborated with international academics—an unforgettable opportunity that expanded both my knowledge and professional network. TAU’s campus is a haven within the bustling city. Sprawling and green, it combines modern architecture with tranquil study spaces. Security is seamless, allowing students to focus entirely on their work. As someone accustomed to European universities, I appreciated the vibrant energy here—libraries stocked with extensive resources, high-tech labs, and even a state-of-the-art sports center featuring an Olympic-sized outdoor pool. Between lectures, I often swam under the open sky, a perfect way to recharge. Beyond academics, TAU’s cultural diversity is its greatest strength. With students from over 100 countries, the campus pulses with global perspectives. I formed friendships and professional connections that transcended borders, enriching my worldview. The administration’s support for international students—from visa assistance to career workshops—was exceptional. In short, Tel Aviv University delivers a top-tier education within a resilient, cosmopolitan community. For those seeking rigor, opportunity, and an inspiring student life, I wholeheartedly recommend TAU.
