Israel's universities โ from Wikidata, not the Council for Higher Education.
Israel's Council for Higher Education accredits its research universities and academic colleges. This directory lists the 7 universities Wikidata records, by district โ not the Technion or the Weizmann Institute of Science, whose names don't call them a university, nor the academic colleges.
Not an official list
This list comes from Wikidata, a community-maintained database (retrieved 2026-11-13) โ not from the country's regulator. It may include institutions that have closed, merged or been renamed, or that have lost or never had official recognition, and it may miss others. We leave out entries Wikidata marks as dissolved or closed, but that filter is only as up to date as Wikidata. Only institutions whose name calls them a university are listed, so recognised colleges and degree-awarding institutes are missing. Being listed here is not proof of accreditation.
Before you apply, check with the Council for Higher Education. (Links checked on 13 November 2026.)
Institutions in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and in the Golan Heights โ which the United Nations considers occupied territory โ are not listed.

What isn't here, and why
Israel's Council for Higher Education accredits the universities and academic colleges, but we found no list it publishes that we could republish, so this page is built from Wikidata.
This list is from Wikidata, a community-maintained source โ retrieved 2026-11-13. A university missing here is a gap in that source, not a judgement about the university, and being listed here is not proof of accreditation: check with the national regulator. Public or private status is shown only where Wikidata records it (6 of 7).
