Submit your application

The application period 

At the beginning of the academic year, the International Office publishes the Call for Applications to the student exchange program. Students who want to apply have to choose their top three universities for a stay abroad and submit their application through the online portal Mobility-Online. The application period closes approximately one month after the published start date. Submitted applications will be reviewed by the Acceptance Committee.  

What do I have to prepare for an application?

After submitting the first part of your application (the registration form) via Mobility-Online and receiving permission from Hebrew University, you’ll need to continue the application process on the online platform. The application must be completed in English and should contain three motivational letters for the three universities of your choice. You have to fill out an online form that includes your personal details and select 5 courses of interest at each host university.

Note: This list of courses serves as a preliminary study plan for the purpose of checking your suitability for study at a given institution. At this stage, you do not need to have this list approved by your advisor.

Your application must include the following documents:

  1. CV in English
  2. Transcripts of study in Hebrew and English:
    - In Hebrew – with your GPA from each year of study at the university and every degree; these can be printed from your online personal file.
    - In English – an official transcript from your faculty’s administrative office.
  3. A separate motivational letter for each desired university (in English). Your letter should describe the reasons for choosing the specific university, including the connection between your current or future program of study and the academic program offered to exchange students at the host university, as well as the specific courses you mentioned in your online application, language courses, and/or multicultural studies.
  4. Master’s and PhD students: A letter of recommendation (at least one) in English from a university lecturer. The letter must be addressed “To whom it may concern” and must be submitted directly by the author of the letter through the procedure as detailed on the website.
  5. For universities where the language of instruction is not English, knowledge of the local language is a prerequisite for acceptance to the program. You must contact the Faculty of Humanities’ Language Studies Department to obtain a signed Authorization of Language Proficiency form.

Note:

Incomplete applications will not be reviewed by the Acceptance Committee.

Applications that are submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed by the Acceptance Committee.

Technical questions related to the online application process should be addressed to Liat Gabai (liatg@savion.huji.ac.il) for universities in Europe, or to Elinor Notrika (outgoing@savion.huji.ac.il) for universities outside of Europe.

The acceptance process 

Meeting the application requirements does not mean that you are automatically accepted to the student exchange program. Once the Call for Applications has been closed, the applications will be transferred to the University or Faculty Acceptance Committee for evaluation.  

The Acceptance Committee’s decisions – acceptance and rejection letters – will be sent to applicants at the end of the evaluation process within two months of the Call for Applications’ closing deadline.
