General Requirements for a dual-disciplinary degree
Fulfilling all requirements as detailed here.
-
Accumulating credits required for the degree
-
Fulfilling all requirements in both disciplines
-
English language proficiency
-
Bibliographic instruction
Before enrolling in any course, students must ensure that they have taken all the prerequisites for it, even when the prerequisites are not included among the courses listed above.
General note regarding combining two fields
When combining fields in a dual-disciplinary program, students are required to take the basic studies in both fields. If a course is required in both fields, taking it fulfills the requirements of both. If a course is required in one field and is an elective in the other, it can only be taken as a required course in the relevant field. If a course is an elective in both fields, it will only grant credits in one of the fields.
For specific requirements when combining fields, see the individual combinations of fields (in Hebrew).
