Jerusalem College of Technology

The Jerusalem College of Technology–Lev Academic Center has a history of excellence in engineering, electro-optics and defense-related R&D. Approximately half of JCT’s students study engineering, including computer science, electro-optics, electronics and industrial engineering. Other specialties at JCT include business, accounting, and life and health sciences. Students come from Israel and 38 countries around the world. JCT graduates have established numerous high-tech companies and are top engineers in the country’s aerospace and defense industries.
The program combines high-level academic degrees and Torah study, reinforces religious Zionist values and empowers its students to integrate successfully into Israeli society.
Faculty members, postdoctoral students and those nearing the completion of their Ph.D. program have also been invited to apply to join its academic staff.
New pre-aliyah program enables students in second gap year to take JCT courses in Torah study, Hebrew language and academics during second semester.
For English-speaking students who want to remain in Israel for higher education, the Jerusalem College of Technology offers high-level Torah study.
The four-year curriculum includes theoretical studies and clinical experience in various nursing fields.
Benefits offered include army service grants, access to psychologists who specialize in trauma and a subscription to online academic reinforcement.
The effort is largely focused on getting volunteers where they are needed and on providing emergency nursing refresher courses for those medical professionals who have not handled trauma or shock patients in years.
Students will begin with a year of Hebrew study (Ulpan) combined with Computer Science courses, which will then enable native English speakers to pursue engineering degrees taught in Hebrew.
The program, which has grown by 25% annually, will be bolstered by the OU-JLIC couple providing students support, social services and a home-away-from-home.
