The dream of establishing a university in the Land of Israel came true when the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was established in 1918 and opened in 1925 at a festive ceremony. Since then, the university continued to grow, with the addition of new buildings, establishment of new programs and recruitment of outstanding scholars, researchers and students.
24,000 students are enrolled at the four campuses of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: Mount Scopus, Givat-Ram and Ein-Kerem Campuses are situated within the beautiful landscape of Jerusalem. The Rehovot campus is home to the Faculty of Agricultural, Food and the Environmental Quality Sciences. The Jewish National Library is the central library of the University, with the largest collections of Hebraica and Judaica in the world. HU researchers figure at the forefront of international science -  biotechnology, genetic engineering, microbiology, cancer research, astrophysics, solar energy, computer science, as well as the humanities, including Jewish Studies, social sciences and law.

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem - Fulfillment of a Commitment to Excellence.
