​Dear future BGU students!​​ ​

​​​​​​​​We are happy and excited to welcome ​you at our university. BGU is located in Beer-Sheva​, the capital of the Negev (Southern part of Israel). 

To make your arrival arrangements as smooth as possible, here is some information that I hope you'll find useful.

Please contact me if you have any questions – Noga Gez​,  Faculty of Natural Sciences, nogayah@bgu.ac.il.​​For your convenience we prepared a short To Do list that will assist you to organize all of the needed logistics also.​

IMPORTANT NOTE: AS THE REGISTRATION / THE APPLICATION PROCESSES TAKE TIME, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE PLANE TICKETS BEFORE YOU HAVE:

1. COMPLETED THE REGISTRATION PROCESS.

2. RECEIVED AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER.

3. RECEIVED A VISA AND A HEALTH INSURANCE VALID FOR THE PERIOD OF YOUR STAY.

You must arrive to Israel with a visa which reflects the purpose of your stay (usually A2 – student visa), the visa cannot be changed after your arrival.

As some tickets are non-refundable, we strongly suggest buying them only after the mentioned above steps are completed.

There are 2 very useful guides for BGU international students and guests – Pre-Arrival Guide for International Students and Researchers, and Information for the New International Student .

Please note that due to various terms and conditions of your visit/studies/fellowship, not all the information there might be relevant to you, please consult Noga Gez​ or the Department.​​
