Tuition for the spring semester of 2024 is 9,541 NIS ($2,515), which can be paid in 3 installments.

Tuition for the second, third and fourth semesters would be approximately the same as the first semester, though the exact amount would be published in the summer of 2024 – subject to the index of the Israeli CHE.
