One credit at Coller is equivalent to 4 ECTS
You are expected to take 4-6 credits of courses per semester. Most of the courses are one Coller credit which is equivalent to two academic hours once a week, for 14 weeks. For the concerted 7-week module, the hours would be four academic hours a week. You should ask your home-university exchange coordinator for your degree's requirements. Please note that we do not have a maximum number of courses; you can take as many as you wish as long as your courses don't overlap.
The number of contact hours in one course is 18 hours. We usually offer between 13-15 courses in a semester, and you may take as many as you want/need as long as the courses do not overlap. Usually, a heavy workload would include 8 courses which would mean 144 classroom contact hours.
The Coller School of Management offers a variety of courses to ensure we spark an interest! These courses touch topics such as marketing, high-tech ecosystems, the art of negotiation, innovation, business strategy, and many more.
In addition to taking Coller courses, you can take a maximum of 2 courses at the Lowy International School, an international school within Tel Aviv University, which offers a variety of undergraduate-level liberal arts courses, in addition to the economics and law faculties, though course availability depends on a number of factors each year.
You will be taking classes with a mix of international and Israeli students, providing the opportunity to meet new friends in your day-to-day.
In addition, we have a new student-run International Club especially for Israeli and international students to meet, network, and enjoy the exchange experience together.
Another way to meet Israeli friends is through the Tel Aviv University Student Union's project – "Buddy System". The system consists of buddy pairs – one of which is international and the other Israeli.
On top of everything, your exchange coordinator will be sending you events and activities during the semester where you will be able to meet Israelis and get to know Tel Aviv and our University.
