This year opens with 23,000 students. Guess who worked the hardest to get in?
23,000 students will be filling the halls at the start of the new academic year will open of Hebrew University of Jerusalem this Sunday (October 10th)
Among these are 11,450 undergraduate students, 6,820 master’s degree students and 2,670 Ph.D. students. Plus, almost 2,000 students from 60 different countries will be studying at the Rothberg International School!
Can you guess which were the hardest courses were to get into – and can you guess which the most popular courses are?
OK – let’s see if you were right?
Among the most popular courses (those that accepted the highest number of applications) are: medicine (1450), economics (990), dentistry (880) and business management (820). In comparison to last year, there was an increase in applications especially for medicinal science, for the army medicine track, and for soil sciences.
The courses which were the hardest to be accepted onto this year were: medicine, medicinal science, pharmacy, dentistry, occupational therapy (only 8 percent of applicants were accepted), psychology, chemistry and biology, pharmacy and the ‘Amirim’ program (only 10-16 percent of candidates were accepted).
If you’re thinking of going to the Rothberg International School next year then these results should be really interesting!
