In fact, all of TAU’s research MSc programs are tuition-free for eligible international applicants. We’ve highlighted a few of these opportunities below.

New International MSc Program in Environmental Engineering

In 2023, Tel Aviv was ranked the second best cleantech ecosystem worldwide. TAU’s new Environmental Engineering MSc program, ranked the top environmental engineering program in Israel, places you at the heart of these advancements. You’ll dive into topics such as water purification, renewable energy, desalination, microplastics, nanotechnologies and air quality improvement, and collaborate with a TAU research lab of your choice.

“If you really want to be an engineer, but you really want to save earth, then environmental engineering is what you should do,”—Prof. Hadas Mamane, head of the Environmental Engineering MSc program.

The MSc Program in Environmental Engineering is a two-year MSc and the research track is fully funded. Registration for the program is now open.

TAU’s New International MSc Program in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest growing fields in the world and is focused on applying engineering to advance healthcare through biological and medical solutions. TAU’s School of Biomedical Engineering is in the top 150 globally for biomedical engineering departments, and TAU’s new international MSc in Biomedical Engineering takes students to the forefront of research.

Through the program, you’ll get to dive deep into lab work in areas ranging from biomechanics and computational biology to vision and hearing.

“You learn how to do the research,” says Prof. Ben Maoz, the head of the Biomedical Engineering MSc program.

“If [later] you want to tackle a different question, you already know how you build the experimental design, the different tools you will tackle … it really helps you to learn how to think scientifically.”  

The Biomedical Engineering MSc is a two-year graduate program and is fully funded. Registration for the program is now open. 

International MSc Program in Neuroscience

TAU is the #1 place to study Neuroscience in Israel, and the sixth best place in Asia. TAU’s two-year international MSc program is housed in the Sagol School of Neuroscience and brings together 150 labs focused on cutting-edge neuroscience research related to biology, psychology, engineering and other areas.

“This program allows students to choose from a very large variety of laboratories and research groups”—Dr. Sagi Jaffe-Dax, the head of the Neuroscience MSc program.

“On the other hand, you don’t have to commit yourself only to a certain field; even if you chose one laboratory you can still choose from a very large variety of courses or models that you can take from all around the campus.”

Through the program, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into the inner workings of the brain from the molecular to the cognitive level, work on developing biomedical devices, explore nervous system disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and autism, and work with top-notch neuroscience researchers. The Neuroscience MSc is a fully funded program, and students also get a 5,000 NIS scholarship.

Registration for 2026/27 will open in November 2025. Meanwhile, you can learn more here.

Other Tuition-Free Degree Program Opportunities at TAU

Through TAU’s Olim tracks, you’ll have access to programs that are either partially funded or tuition-free. In addition, new olim are invited to join a community-building program specifically designed to support new Olim in their academic and personal journey in Israel. Eligible students can receive a housing scholarship while becoming part of a supportive community.

Via the Olim track, the BA in Liberal Arts and Management program is partially funded and will allow you to gain a comprehensive education in both management and entrepreneurship studies, as well as in the humanities and social sciences. 

And if you are looking for a STEM degree in Israel, you can join the academic integration track of BSc in Mechanical Engineering or BSc in Electrical Engineering. Both involve a preparatory year with intensive Hebrew studies and several Maths and Physics courses in English. 

Brian Rosen, Vice Dean for International Affairs, Faculty of Engineering, talks about the new Olim track at the TAU’s Faculty of Engineering:

If you have already completed an undergraduate degree, you can apply for the partially funded MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) program, which will prepare you for a variety of career opportunities in the English teaching profession and enable you to obtain teaching certification in Israel.
