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.
    Some English language courses are available in Humanities and Industrial Engineering & Management.
The major categories of Visiting Students at Technion include the following:
  1. Third year (Junior Year) undergraduates who, within the framework of their Home University, are eligible to apply for Study Abroad programs.
  2. Undergraduate students who have permission to undertake a project at another university for credit at their Home University.
  3. Medical students whose clinical experience may include periods spent under the supervision of academic staff from the Faculty of Medicine at the Technion.
  4. 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.
  5. Students who have completed their undergraduate studies but wish to undertake specialist studies at Technion without committing themselves to a formal MSc course program.
  6. 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.
