Tel Aviv, Israel
Ideal for engaged collaborative learners who want to experience new venture creation in its many forms, The Sofaer Global MBA at Tel Aviv University immerses students in all aspects of the entrepreneurial mindset and process. Located in the heart of Israel’s highly developed startup ecosystem, the intensive 1-year program brings together people from different countries and provides them with ample opportunities for hands-on innovation.

In the classroom, students learn tech-centric topics unique to the startup context such as the Legal Aspects of Entrepreneurship, Term Sheets and Valuation, and the unique Impact Lab. Out in the startup world, students are exposed to the vitality and complexity of everyday competitive ventures – including drones in the agriculture space, artificial intelligence applied to healthcare diagnosis and delivery, and software to transform the early education market, to name just a few. Opportunities are as varied as the students’ own aspirations.
The student body is made up of outstanding individuals from diverse backgrounds. Scientists, engineers, design thinkers, air force personnel, and entrepreneurs who have rung up both wins and losses learn from one another, in structured as well as less formal collaborations. In this unique cauldron of innovation, through studying, teamwork, and multidisciplinary exchange, new ideas take root and grow.
The program is AACSB accredited. Candidates study from October to August, with an optional fall semester in one of over 100 partner universities worldwide, in locations ranging from Japan to USA. For those who wish to stay in Israel, the program provides the perfect stepping stone to employment opportunities among funded startups as well as among leading tech companies and venture capital funds.
