Israel's challenges in the turbulent changing Middle East - An intensive summer program

Three weeks of intense, applied learning, the program is designed to be an opportunity to embark on an educational and illuminating academic experience. With a specified designed curriculum and faculty, classes are relevant to the current topics surrounding the Middle East and courses are geared to be hands on experience that allow students to have an applied experience and connect
to the issues, cultures and ideas. It provides the ability to learn intensively about the region that no textbook can through translating information taught in the classroom to relevant simulations and field trips. It’s also the unique chance to study in the white city that never stops, Tel Aviv.

About the program

The program is a Tel Aviv University academic program. We provide three courses. Students have the option of choosing only one or two classes if they are unable attend all three weeks:
   • The Middle East after the Arab Upheaval
   • Jihadi-Sunni Terrorism and Non-State Actors as an Ongoing Challenge
   • Israel’s National Security Concept in an Unstable Neighborhood
All courses will be be comparable to credit earned at any university. Each course lasts 5 days: days focused on course lectures and a simulation. The final day of the course will be a related field trip, providing an even further in-depth analysis and experience of the region.
