BA in Management & Liberal Arts

Tel Aviv University has an amazing, thoughtful, and flexible faculty. The learning structure encourages a multifaceted approach to learn. Students can take classes that genuinely interest them or spike their curiosity. I decided to go to Tel Aviv University (TAU) to truly expand my educational and cultural horizons. I knew that an international degree would provide me with a profound perspective on language, cuisine, lifestyle, political atmosphere, and humanity as a whole. Education is about surrounding yourself with learning opportunities and taking advantage of them. In Israel, I have reached academic heights that I could never have expected.The best part about being a student in Israel is the myriad of opportunities to explore the country. Public transportation is effortless to use. My friends and I are constantly exploring the coastal Mediterranean cities, the beautiful Negev desert, and the holy sites and cities scattered around Israel.

I'm studying in TAU's dual degree with Columbia University, majoring in philosophy and minoring in entrepreneurship. Quite simply, the combination of these things is a winner!
The liberal arts program is a perfect fit for studying philosophy but touches on many other things. After military service, I felt the need to stop and broaden my horizons when I learned about this program. I major in philosophy but touch on many other subjects. I feel like I am educating myself and feeding myself in that sense.
I knew that living in Israel – known as the Startup Nation – and working at a startup would help me grow professionally. We have classes ranging from value creation to marketing to project management.
The multidisciplinary knowledge I've acquired in philosophy, literature, and history has opened my eyes to more directions.

I'm majoring in psychology with a minor in philosophy. I picked this program at TAU because it's exciting how the psychological impact can interact or counteract the philosophical argument.
My studies bring together a perspective of interlinked topics, encouraging you to think about the same thing from different perspectives. So when you encounter a problem, you think about solving it in different ways. What's the smartest thing to do or the most ethical thing to do?
The connection to professors is generally straightforward; they're open and attentive to your concerns and can even help with non-academic matters - I once had a conversation with a professor about what I should continue studying. It's nice to have professors who teach you but can also help and guide you, which is very nice, especially for international students.

The off-campus events are also a key highlight of studying at TAU. I remember one overnight trip to Eilat, in the south of the country, with the madrichim (student life team) that was exciting and fun.
I hope to continue to a graduate degree in a business or management direction in the future.
