CALS Exchange students must enroll in the equivalent of 15 US credit hours. All students are advised to be as flexible as possible with their module requirements. There are no guarantees for any modules at HUJI, and some modules are in high demand and will be difficult to register for. The language of instruction at HUJI is English for MSc courses. Students will register for MSc courses. When choosing courses make sure to check that you meet the prerequisites and there is no overlap in your class schedule. 

Review the courses taught in English reference sheet. You can find specific subject courses at the bottom of the HUJI application instruction page.
