A enero de 2026, Israel contaba con once universidades y 53 colegios reconocidos y supervisados académicamente por el Consejo de Educación Superior de Israel . Gracias a la gran variedad de cursos que ofrecen, las universidades israelíes se consideran de alta calidad y su costo es accesible. [ 1 ] La calidad de la educación universitaria en Israel ha sido en gran medida responsable del auge tecnológico y el rápido desarrollo económico del país . [ 1 ]
La principal diferencia entre una universidad y un centro de enseñanza superior en Israel es que solo una universidad puede otorgar doctorados y, por lo tanto, tiende a estar más orientada a la investigación que los centros de enseñanza superior, que están más orientados a la docencia.
Universidades
Las universidades de Israel se enumeran a continuación, seguidas de su acrónimo en inglés, fecha de fundación, ubicación, datos más recientes sobre el número de estudiantes y la clasificación académica del instituto de las mejores universidades del mundo , según WebOMetrics [ 2 ] (top 3000), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) [ 3 ] (top 500) y The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) [ 4 ] (top 200), Academic Ranking of World Universities también conocido como Shanghai Ranking ( ARWU) : [ 5 ]
Most universities offer the full range of graduate and undergraduate degrees: Bachelor's degrees, Master's degrees, and doctorates. However, the Weizmann Institute does not grant bachelor's degrees.
Colleges

Other institutes of higher education that are accredited by CHEI to confer a bachelor's (and in some cases a master's) degree are known as colleges (Hebrew: מִכְלָלָהMikhlala; pl. מכללותMikhlalot). There are also over twenty teacher training colleges - most of which will award only the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.).
