The International Program
The Buchmann-Mehta School of Music International Program for Outstanding Foreign Students was established in the summer of 2008.
The program provides outstanding international students with the opportunity to live and study in Tel Aviv under optimal conditions. All international students receive a full-tuition scholarship. A limited number of students who demonstrate outstanding level of performance are also eligible for a living stipend and/or housing scholarship.
Students accepted to the program have the privilege of studying under the umbrella of Israel's largest university, Tel Aviv University, as well as one of the world's leading orchestras, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The faculty is comprised of Israel's foremost musicians and pedagogues, many of whom are principal players in the IPO who have achieved international acclaim.
Since music is an international language, The Buchmann-Mehta School of Music was chosen as the front-runner in the University's internationalization process. Over the years, the program has accepted students from countries as diverse as Brazil, Poland, Azerbaijan, Japan, Taiwan, China, Spain, USA, Canada, Hungary, Greece, Russia, Italy, France, Germany, Argentina, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Austria, Chile, Belgium, Korea, Italy, Moldova, Mexico, Albania, Georgia, Venezuela, Australia, and Ukraine.
The program offers Bachelor's and Master's degrees, as well as Artist Diploma. Performance opportunities include participation in the Symphony Orchestra, chamber ensembles and opera productions, conducted bilingually in Hebrew and English.
Thanks to the generosity and efforts of Mr. Josef Buchmann, the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music is realizing the goal of becoming a significant international center for musical academic study and professional training.
The International Program in English is offered for studies in the Instrumental, Vocal, Conducting and Composition departments*.
*Conducting and Composition studies are offered only for graduate students.
