Overview

What is the Entrepreneurship & Sustainability (ClimateTech) BA?

Reichman pitches it as preparation to lead where AI, energy infrastructure and climate technology meet. You learn to build and fund ventures while studying the science and policy behind them: climate data and GIS, green finance and ESG, carbon markets, energy and water, and environmental law. Reichman describes the aim as “domain knowledge plus commercial acumen.”

✓A good fit if you…

  • Want to build or join ventures in climate, energy, food or water tech
  • Want business training and environmental science in one degree
  • Are comfortable working with data, from climate datasets to GIS
  • Are an oleh or olah under 27 who can start within 3 years of aliyah

!Think twice if you…

  • Want a program with graduates to talk to. This one opens in October 2027.
  • Want a pure environmental science degree without the business side.
  • Need the lowest possible tuition. Reichman is a private university.

A guide, not a ruling. The program must be recognized by the Student Authority. The 3-year window doesn’t count regular army service, national service or Masa programs. If you get any grant, tell Reichman’s tuition office so it can revise your payment plan.

i

Not an oleh? Look at Masa. Reichman lists Masa grants for international students aged 18–35. They depend on your country, age and program and cover the first year only. You apply after you’re accepted, do 30 hours of volunteering, can’t hold a work visa while funded, and the grant stops if you make aliyah and start receiving government aid.

Costs

What it costs in 2027–28.

Reichman’s published figures for its English-taught undergraduate programs. All sums are subject to change.

Reichman dormsOptional, per month, depending on the room.$1,100–1,300

Olim, read this before budgeting. The Student Authority pays up to the standard state tuition, which Nefesh B’Nefesh currently lists as ₪12,017 a year for a bachelor’s. At universities it reimburses you after you submit proof of payment. Reichman’s fee is well above that, so plan for the difference and get figures in writing before you pay the deposit.
