By GALIT DIAMANT Now more than ever, The Modern State of Israel cannot be understood without grasping the full scope of Jewish history as context. The ancient Israelite kingdoms, two millennia of Diasporic life, the emergence of the Zionist movement, the Holocaust, seventy-five years of developments within the Jewish State and constant geo-political challenges to date are all essential background to form a comprehensive understanding of what Israel is today. With this in mind, University of Haifa has developed three international one-year English-taught master’s programs aimed at preparing future professionals in Jewish, Israeli, and Holocaust studies with the broad understanding necessary for a fruitful and rewarding career contributing to these fields.
Globally renowned for their excessive research publications and grants, its academic leaders are recognized as world experts in versatile historical aspects of the Middle East, Europe and Asia. All three international programs offer students a hybrid-learning mode, the freedom to choose from a wide range of courses, and extensive research options, for a personalized study experience tailored to their preferences and interests. The programs also offer attractive scholarships for eligible students, which can amount up to full tuition coverage and living stipends.
“Our goal is to pave the way for a new generation of Holocaust experts,” says Anat Weiner, Director of the Weiss-Livnat International Master’s program in Holoc.
