Open Day at TAU: Choose the Unconventional, Combine Your Passions

The winter weather, which decided to visit us in Tel Aviv for only a few hours, added to the festive atmosphere of the Open Day held on February 6th at our campus. Thousands of prospective students gathered to learn about admission requirements and the registration process, and to meet with academic and administrative staff as well as current students from the fields they are interested in. They found themselves congregating in the faculty buildings across campus and in the registration and counseling halls, where they were greeted with workshops, lectures, and panels—everything they needed to begin their academic journey.

Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and discover information about the diverse study program combinations offered by Tel Aviv University.

“The university offers over 200 study programs, and is part of a movement to create innovative interdisciplinary programs”, says Sharon Ariel, the university’s marketing director.

She continues: “We encourage our students to choose unconventional combinations, believing they will find ways to integrate their different areas of interest throughout their professional and personal lives. For example, students can study Biology alongside Philosophy, combine Computer Science with Music, or deepen their understanding of Law and Film Studies. This approach allows each student to find their unique path and fully realize their academic and personal potential”.

This year, Tel Aviv University also introduced special conditions for reservists who were called up for extended periods, as well as for evacuees from war zones, offering a unique undergraduate admission track to help them succeed. Visitors to the Open Day participated in immersive tours through the faculty buildings and study departments, offering a taste of various fields of study and a glimpse into the different labs. The first 200 registrants at the event received a special surprise—a pair of Saucony running shoes as a gift.

Among the most popular sessions were those introducing Tel Aviv University’s innovative teaching methods, including virtual reality experiences and workshops on choosing a field of study from the Career Counseling Center at the Dean of Students' Office. In addition, prospective students learned about the opportunity to spend a whole semester at leading universities abroad through the student exchange program, and participated in a workshop at the Campus Entrepreneurship Center, where they learned how to start advancing their startup dreams during their degree.

We were delighted to host everyone at our beautiful campus, and we hope that together with us, the prospective students will begin their journey toward the discoveries, innovations, and theories waiting to be uncovered.
