What do Visiting
Students do at the Technion?
Visiting Students who
come within the framework of the Center for Student Exchange & Study
Abroad are normally accepted for a program of study at the Technion
which has been approved by both their Home University and the
appropriate Academic Faculty at the Technion, but there are many
exceptions.
The major categories of Visiting Students at Technion include the
following:
- Third year (Junior Year) undergraduates who, within the
framework of their Home University, are eligible to apply for Study
Abroad programs.
- Undergraduate students who have permission to
undertake a project at another university for credit at their Home
University.
- Medical students whose clinical experience may
include periods spent under the supervision of academic staff from the
Faculty of Medicine at the Technion.
- Students considering Aliyah (immigrating to Israel)
who are reluctant to take on the full study load of a Technion student,
and therefore register as Visiting Students in the frst instance.
- Students who have completed their undergraduate studies
but wish to undertake specialist studies at Technion without
committing themselves to a formal MSc course program.
- Graduate students registered at another university
who wish to spend time at the Technion for specific academic research
objectives.
The Technion also welcomes other visiting students who do not
come within the framework of the Center for International Student
Exchange.
There are also some additional alternatives :
- Talented high school students (15-18) with a strong interest in
the sciences, mathematics or engineering may be interested in the
TechnionSciTech
Summer Research Camp, which runs for five weeks starting mid-July
(in parallel with the Summer Session). Applicants must be
recommended by their schools and the number of places is limited.
- IAESTE (the International Association for Exchange of Students &
Technical Experience) arranges six week Summer Placement
opportunities in Israel for recognized students. Applications should be
addressed to your local IAESTE office or agent.
- In addition to the above categories, we are always pleased to meet
visiting students who wish to see the campus. Contact either the
Department of Public Relations or the appropriate Academic Faculty
or Department well beforehand, in order to ensure that a responsible
member of the staff will be available.
