Overview

What is the Global MBA?

The Global MBA is designed for executives and future business leaders and uses Israel’s tech ecosystem as its classroom. Students take core courses in general management and specialize in one of two tracks. The Innovation & Entrepreneurship track includes a practicum in early-stage startups and VCs, venture creation training and company visits in Israel and the US. The Arison Leadership Development Program, modeled on programs at INSEAD and IMD, runs through the degree.

✓A good fit if you…

  • Have at least 3 years of work experience and want a management degree
  • Want to focus on AI and data, or on innovation and startups
  • Want to keep working, with classes on Sundays and Fridays
  • Are an oleh or olah under 30 who can start within 3 years of aliyah

!Think twice if you…

Olim funding

Can olim get funding for this master’s?

Likely eligible for Student Authority aid

You’re under 30 with 26 months left to start. The grant covers up to the standard state tuition, so expect to pay the rest of Reichman’s fee.

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.

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.

Olim, read this before budgeting. The Student Authority pays up to the standard state tuition, which Nefesh B’Nefesh currently lists as ₪16,239 a year for up to two years (₪32,478 in total) for a master’s. For a one-year MA it pays up to ₪32,478, half during the year and half after you graduate. 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.
