What you study

Computers are taking over the world, and the School of Computer Science is taking over the high-tech job market—our graduates work at Check Point, Microsoft, Intel, Google, IBM, and countless startups. But really, there’s no limit to what you can do with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Tel Aviv University.

Computer science combines theoretical knowledge with practical, applied knowledge of using computer systems, as well as designing and building them. During the program, students must choose 1 or more specializations. Institutions offer various specializations, such as software development, internet technologies, signal processing and machine learning, artificial intelligence and machine learning, big data, communications and the internet, cybersecurity, hardware design, computer systems, signal and image processing, computer communications, software systems, and more. The curriculum includes foundational subjects in science—mathematics, physics, and computer science; in engineering—linear systems, digital systems, and electrical engineering; as well as theoretical and practical courses related to the areas of specialization. The program also includes a final project in the last year of study.
