Desert Studies
The Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research (BIDR), part of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), are acknowledged leaders in desert studies, widely respected in the international scientific community for the quality and creativity of their research and training programs. In light of this global reputation and the worldwide need for expertise in the study of drylands, BGU, and the Blaustein Institutes have established the Albert Katz International School for Desert Studies, which offers programs leading to Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Desert Studies, Hydrology & Water Quality, Ecology & Nature Conservation, and Environmental Physics & Solar Energy. These multi-disciplinary research areas have emerged to help develop science-based responses to the urgent needs of humanity.

Health
The Faculty of Health Sciences at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is dedicated to excellence in the education and training of doctors and medical professionals, as well as to excellence in medical research of all kinds. The mission of the FOHS is to educate medical professionals who consider patients holistically, within their familial, social, and cultural contexts. This unique community-centered approach is evident in our applicant screening process, which is based on individual interviews, student involvement in community health projects, and in the curriculums of our various schools and programs, emphasizing the bio-psycho-social approach.
Advanced world-class scientific research at the Faculty's research departments and centers, clinical divisions, and schools encompasses a broad range of topics and fields – from basic science to clinical. The scope of activities at the FOHS encompasses medicine in the widest sense, characteristic of our comprehensive and humanistic understanding of sickness and health.

Natural Sciences
The Faculty sees itself as fulfilling a two-fold purpose: basic scientific and advanced educational and research training of Israel's future scientists, creating a human infrastructure of the highest standard for the industrial and applied scientific requirements of the Negev and State of Israel; and the pursuit of scholarly research, basic and applied, in the disciplines of mathematics and natural sciences.
Natural sciences are the basis of many of the study programs at BGU. As part of BGU's educational mission and as a basis for research the Faculty strives to provide a means for students to develop an understanding of natural sciences, and to educate scholars with a deep knowledge and understanding of the different related disciplines. We aim to develop independent, critical awareness and systematic research abilities in our students to create a new generation of researchers. The undergraduate study programs include also several interdisciplinary programs aimed at providing excelling students with a rich platform for scientific, technological, and social changes.
