Learn the fundamentals of animal sciences based on the most recent scientific findings.

The Master of Science in Animal Sciences aims to prepare students to become leading professionals in modern agriculture and contribute newly-acquired skills and knowledge for the benefit of agriculture in their home countries. Students will learn the fundamentals of Animal Sciences based on the most recent scientific findings and understand the “science” behind animal sciences, animal physiology, farm animal production and the environmental impact of agricultural activity. The program also prepares students for participation in doctoral-level programs.

The MSc in Brain Sciences provides comprehensive multidisciplinary training with hands-on research experience in brain studies. The Center offers a wide variety of laboratories that use advanced research technologies and engages in basic brain science, as well as in clinical trials. Graduates of the MSc program in Brain Sciences are prepared to spearhead research in academia, the industry, and clinical environments.

The Master of Science in Environmental Quality Sciences prepares students to address the challenges of global environmental issues: development of alternative water and energy resources, water and soil pollution treatment, waste recycling, agricultural intensification, environmentally-sustainable pest control, and plant protection, and related economics.

The Technion’s semester study abroad program in engineering and science is designed to give international students a unique academic experience, as well as a chance to get to know Israel, the “Start-Up Nation.”

The master's program is intended for students with a bachelor's degree in biology and life sciences, students with a DVM degree, or students in the combined DVM/M.Sc program at the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine. The program aims to expand and deepen the knowledge and understanding students attained in their undergraduate studies, and to allow them to take their first steps as researchers.

The international Master of Science in Plant Sciences prepares students to become leading professionals in the present and future agriculture and adapt their new knowledge to local conditions in their home countries. Students will acquire advanced knowledge and skills in the scientific basis and principles of crop plant production, the environmental impact of agricultural activity, analysis of specific cropping systems, seeking solutions to practical problems, either in the scientific literature or by an experimental approach, and adapting appropriate solutions to various situations.

TAKE A BREAK and spend your summer in the Start-Up Nation! Enjoy the multicultural experiences of Israel while preforming research at one of the Technion laboratories. Technion invites international students in the fields of science and technology for an unforgettable summer experience at one of the leading institutions in the world.

The master's program draws on an understanding of physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and ecology of the fundamental processes in fruit trees, ornamental plants, flowers, and forest trees. These culminate in the master's thesis, for which the students harness the theoretical tools they acquired in order to explore problems rooted in the practical needs of agriculture and forestry both in Israel and globally.

The master's program places an emphasis on developing students' knowledge and skills necessary for understanding and conducting research in a variety of scientific and professional areas. Our courses are intended for students of the Soil and Water teaching program as well as students specializing in environmental studies, agricultural production branches, horticulture, and field crops and vegetables.

Graduates receive a master's degree in Nutritional Sciences. Students may write their thesis in the field of biochemistry, food science, and nutrition. Students must complete 24 credits for the thesis track and 40 credits for the non-thesis track, of which at least 10 and 18 credits (respectively) are from the closed list of elective courses offered by the teaching program.
