The BA–MBA (Hebrew) pathway at Tel Aviv University is an accelerated, Hebrew-taught programme that combines an undergraduate degree with a fast-tracked entrance to graduate-level management study. It suits high‑achieving students who want a broad undergraduate education alongside early professional training in business and management, and who plan careers in leadership, entrepreneurship or consulting.
This integrated programme pairs a Bachelor’s-level curriculum in the humanities, social sciences or management foundations with early access to MBA coursework, all delivered in Hebrew. At undergraduate level you study core disciplinary modules (for example: microeconomics, macroeconomics, sociology, political science, psychology, or management foundations depending on the BA route chosen) alongside quantitative and analytical subjects such as statistics, econometrics and research methods.
MBA-level content focuses on the functional areas of business: accounting and financial reporting, corporate finance, marketing management, organisational behaviour, operations management, strategy and business law. Courses emphasise case-based learning, team projects and applied assignments. Electives and special topics commonly available include entrepreneurship and innovation, digital business and data analytics, international business, and managerial ethics. Practical components typically include internships, consulting projects with industry partners and a capstone or thesis option.
Applicants must demonstrate strong academic performance in their secondary education (for Israeli applicants this normally includes the Bagrut certificate) and meet the university’s standard matriculation requirements. A good score on the Israeli Psychometric Entrance Test (or an accepted international equivalent) strengthens an application. Selection for the accelerated BA–MBA pathway typically requires evidence of academic excellence, motivation for a management career, and Hebrew language proficiency sufficient to follow lectures and complete assessments in Hebrew.
Additional components of the admissions process may include a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and an interview. Candidates with relevant work experience, extracurricular leadership or entrepreneurship activities are viewed favourably.
Graduates of the BA–MBA pathway are prepared for managerial and strategic roles across the private, public and third sectors. Typical career destinations include management consulting, corporate finance and banking, product and marketing management, operations and supply chain roles, and business development positions in startups and established firms. The programme also provides a solid foundation for entrepreneurs launching new ventures and for graduates who choose to continue into specialist postgraduate study or executive education.
Because the programme is taught in Hebrew and situated in Israel’s largest economic and tech hub, many students find opportunities with local high‑tech firms, financial institutions, consulting houses and NGOs, while others pursue international careers supported by elective coursework and internship experience.
Tel Aviv University offers access to a large, multidisciplinary campus with strong links to Israel’s business and innovation ecosystem. The university’s management faculty and collaborating schools provide practical, research-informed teaching and opportunities for industry engagement, internships and applied projects. Students benefit from an active alumni network in Israel’s commercial and startup sectors and from career services that help connect graduates with employers.
Choosing the Hebrew-taught BA–MBA pathway at TAU is particularly suitable for students seeking an academically rigorous programme delivered in Hebrew with direct pathways into professional management education and close ties to the Tel Aviv business community.
