Welcome to the website of the Department of Management and Economics

The Open University has offered courses in management and economics since its inception in 1976. Over the last three decades, the department has grown to become the most sought-after one in the University.

• The department offers more than 50 single- and dual-disciplinary undergraduate programs of study. Studies in Economics and in Management can be combined with studies in other fields in the framework of dual-disciplinary degrees. In addition, the department offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.
• The department also offers transfer channels to other universities as well as accelerated tracks that enable students to plan their degree studies.
• On offer are dozens of courses in the areas of Economics, Management, Accounting and Industrial Engineering and Management. The courses, taught in Hebrew, were developed by our faculty and leading scholars in their fields and are in great demand by faculty and students in other Israeli universities.
• Course instruction integrates advanced communication technologies for distance learning. The course websites support the university's unique teaching method and enable continuous asynchronous communication with the faculty.
• Last year, the number of course enrollments reached close to 41,000. Our students, who reside in all parts of Israel and even overseas, study in the tutorial format (regular or intensive) of their choice. Our graduates have been absorbed into the business community and many have gone on to study for advanced degrees in universities in Israel and abroad.

We invite you to take a look at the charts for planning a program of study in Management and Economics and in Management and Computer Science.
