a student here. Attending the Sofaer MBA program at the Coller Management School has greatly

benefited my career, and I would advise anyone interested in the field of innovation, entrepreneurship

and venture creation to consider applying. The intensive and well designed curriculum provides me with a

very broad skill-set. There’s a plethora of electives for every type of interest, and a place for everyone, no

matter what your background or goals are. I am grateful for this program, for its thorough curriculum, and diligent faculty.

I am so lucky to be in Tel Aviv and Tel Aviv University.”

 

 

Kyle Ungerman, Canada

Class of 2019

“I picked the Sofaer MBA program because I wanted to expand my international network,

and Tel Aviv University allowed me to do that. It was interesting to learn about different cultures and styles.

I learned so much about finance and the accounting world; I participated in a 6-month intensive consulting project

for a real company that gave me incredible insights into how a company operates.

The Sofaer Program allowed me a deep dive into the Israeli high-tech ecosystem. I ended up joining a Sequoia-backed start-up called Oribi.io, where I’m scaling up their Business Development and Sales Team.”
