Life Sciences (570) - Bachelor's Degree            
 

The purpose of the BSc studies is to provide students with a broad and deep basis of varied knowledge in Life Sciences, in order to meet the scientific challenges of the future. Familiarity with biological research is essential for advancing many areas of life – medicine, agriculture, environmental quality, biotechnology, education, public policy etc.
 
The Life Sciences teaching program provides its students with a basic background, and equips them with the tools necessary for engaging in problems in various fields on the molecular, cellular, organismic, superorganismic (environmental) levels and in industrial biology. The fields of study include Evolution, Ecology, Biochemistry, Cellular Biology, Genetics, Animal Behavior, Plant Sciences, Microbiology and Brain Science.
 
In the first year of BSc studies the studies are composed of basic courses in Natural Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Programming) and introductions to the Life Sciences fields (Cellular Biology, Biology of Organisms and Genetics). In the first semester of the second year additional introductory courses are taken (Ecology and Population Biology, Molecular Biology, Plant Sciences, Microbiology, Physiology and Evolution). From the second semester of the second year and throughout the third year students compile a personal study program, according to their fields of interest, from a very wide range of courses.
 
The studies include opportunities for practical experience in the research laboratories in the Institute of Life Sciences and in biotechnology companies.
 
 
Master’s courses in the faculty are given in Hebrew unless a foreign student who does not speak Hebrew is taking the course. In such a case the course will be given in English.
