STARTING A SEARCH

If you know the specific information you are looking for, click the search link on our homepage’s toolbar; you will be redirected to the search engine, or use keywords to perform a quick search. Feel free to browse the site and any of its links if you want more general information or if you are not exactly sure what specific information might interest you.

THE SEARCH ENGINE

FIND WEB PAGES OR A LIST OF MAJORS/COURSES OF STUDY?

A search can be performed in one of two ways, for example, if you are interested in studying “Geography”, choose “Geography” where it asks for major/course of study, then click on “ Search Available Programs”. The search will return a list of all the available academic programs in Geography as well as additional useful information. Alternatively, if you are just interested in seeing the links to the site’s web pages with information about “Geography”, click “Search Web Pages” and the engine will return a list of suitable links. There are 6 basic search categories: ACADEMIC INSTITUTION/TYPE OF INSTITUTION, FIELD OR COURSE OF STUDY, MAJOR/ ACADEMIC PROGRAM, LOCATION, DEGREE AWARDED, KEY WORD. A Boolean search may be done by combining categories, but for every search one defined parameter must be selected. For example: searching Tel Aviv University + The Humanities + Bachelor’s Degree, will return all possible B.A. programs in the Humanities offered by Tel Aviv University.

Departments are classified in accordance with the principal disciplines which are taught with them. The search by discipline can help you to find additional departments in which the areas of study which interest you are taught. Thus for example, when the search variable is discipline and a search is performed on biology, the search results also lead to departments such as: Biology-Psychology, Brain Studies, Oceanography, etc.

SEARCH RESULTS
