The Hebrew University of Jerusalem at a glance |
 |
|
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel's first university and a symbol of the cultural rebirth of the Jewish nation in its ancestral homeland, is a multidisciplinary institution of higher learning and research. It has become a scientific center of international repute, with informal and formal ties extending to and from the worldwide scientific and academic community. It is an institution where thousands of young Israelis receive a university education with an accent on excellence; where advanced, postgraduate study and research are stressed; and where special programs attract a largnumber of overseas students to pursue degrees or earn credits for transfer.
This is a university with a three-fold function: to serve the State of
Israel by training its scientific, educational and professional manpower;
to serve the Jewish people by preserving and expanding the Jewish
cultural, spiritual and intellectual heritage; and to serve humanity by
extending the frontiers of knowledge.
