Technion – Israel Institute of Technology

Technion City

Home to three Nobel laureates, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology is ranked sixth worldwide for entrepreneurship and innovation. Israel’s Technion has made an impact in all fields of applied science and technology, including electronics, information technology, water management, nanotechnology, life sciences and chemistry, clean-tech, materials engineering, and aerospace engineering.

At Technion, excellence in education in science and technology is a strong basis for a  culture of entrepreneurship and a definitive position at the evolving frontiers of multidisciplinary science.

The Technion offers three- and four-year undergraduate programs leading to a BSc in engineering or science. Architecture demands five years. An MD is conferred after six years of study and one year of internship, with a BSc in Medical Sciences awarded after three years.

The Center for Pre-university Education (mechina) provides a second chance to students who do not meet Technion’s entrance requirements. Equal opportunity programs prepare new immigrants, demobilized soldiers, and minority groups for Technion’s rigorous curriculum.

All faculties offer advanced degree courses including Master of Science (MSc), Master of Engineering (ME), Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

Interdisciplinary graduate studies are offered in Autonomous Systems, Biotechnology, Energy, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Polymer Engineering, Quality Assurance and Reliability, and Systems Engineering.

In response to the newly discovered natural gas and petroleum reserves in israel’s territorial waters, Technion also offers a Master’s of Engineering specializing in Natural Gas and Petroleum Engineering.

Technion International is charged with overseeing academic relationships with foreign partner institutions worldwide, and serves as an umbrella for Technion’s international programs and foreign students.

From the Antarctic to Nigeria, Technion footsteps are imprinted in collaborative scientific research, education and entrepreneurship. Research agreements with international academic institutions include Johns Hopkins University; Cleveland Clinic; l’Ecole Polytechnique; Cambridge University; Manchester University; the Universities of Melbourne and Sydney; the Technological Universities of Berlin and Aachen; the Universities of Nanjing, Peking, Tsinghua, Xidian and East China University of Science and Technology; and the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Each year the Technion welcomes internationally renowned scientists and postdoctoral students on campus.

The student exchange program hosts overseas undergraduate and graduate students and encourages Technion students to study abroad. The summer internship program allows students to gather cutting-edge skills at high-tech companies in the U.S.
