The Open University of Israel (Hebrew: האוניברסיטה הפתוחה, Ha-Universita ha-Ptuha) is a distance-education university in Israel. It is one of ten public universities in Israel recognized by the Council of Higher Education (CHE).[1] The Open University does not require a matriculation certificate, psychometric exam, or other entrance exam for admission to undergraduate studies.[2]
Open University teaching methods are based primarily on distance learning technologies, with the option of face-to-face tutorial sessions. Campuses are located in Ra'anana, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beersheba, Givat Haviva, and Nazareth, in addition to approximately fifty study centers located throughout the country. Most students study remotely from their homes in Israel and around the world. As in other higher education institutions, graduation from the OUI is contingent upon successfully fulfilling degree requirements; English-language proficiency is also required. The university offers bachelor's degrees, as well as a number of master's degree programs, and a doctoral program in Education: Technologies in Learning Systems. Acceptance requirements to master's programs are similar to those at most universities.
