The Library
There are a number of facilities on campus to which our MA students will enjoy full access. The University of Haifa Library, offering computerized services as well as some two million book and non-book items, is one of the most advanced of its kind in the country. The library houses a large collection of both English and Hebrew books, as well as smaller collections of books in other languages.
Upon presenting their student ID card, MA students at the International School have complete access to library services, such as checking-out books and one-on-one consultations with library staff to help locate any item in the library or at neighboring institutions across the country.

Computer Rooms
There are computer rooms available throughout the University campus as well as in the dormitories for student use. The computers are IBM compatible and are equipped with internet and Microsoft software programs. In order to print, students will need to purchase a print card. Hours of the computer rooms vary depending on location.
In addition, wireless internet access is available from a variety of locations on campus. Students who have laptops that are wireless-accessible will be able to use their laptops to connect to the internet.
There is no wireless-internet service in individual rooms in the dormitories. Students who want internet service in their rooms will need to first open a phone line or cable service, and then make arrangements with one of the Israeli internet providers.
