In accordance with the principles of the Bologna declaration and the prevailing approach at academic institutions in Israel, the conversion rate for Israeli Credit Points to ECTS has been set at 2:1. This ratio represents the academic principles of Shenkar, which factor in the importance of practice and implementation of knowledge through independent work in addition to the formal curricular framework that emphasizes the acquisition of theoretical, technical and technological academic knowledge.

Language:

We offer students a variety of courses from different disciplines that are taught in English (EMI Courses). The list of EMI Courses can be viewed HERE.

English Friendly Courses (EF Courses) - In addition to EMI courses, we offer a variety of workshops designed to be accessible to non-Hebrew speakers. These workshops, although led in Hebrew, emphasize hands-on learning, enabling students to grasp concepts through practical experience rather than solely relying on lecture-based instruction. As such, language proficiency is less crucial, and both teachers and fellow students are on hand to provide assistance, ensuring you can fully engage with the material.

Exchange students are still responsible for paying tuition fees to their home institution while studying at Shenkar, meaning there is no additional tuition fee required at Shenkar. However, it's important to note that a nominal security fee is applicable. This fee must be paid to receive your final transcript at the end of the semester.
