Masters study in Israel?

[talons1025]

I want to study for a masters in Middle Eastern Studies in a university in Israel. Safety aside, would a degree from a university in Israel hinder or help me if I want to pursue a career in Counter Terrorism / political analysis? (government job) The government loves when candidates go abroad / study abroad, but I wonder if Israel is a bit too.... risqué?

Hi! We already talked about this but I will just add that, perhaps, you could track some TAU, Hebrew University or Bar-Ilan's American Masters alumni online (as stalkerish as it sounds) and ask them what they think. They will be the ones who can give the best answer with regards to career prospects after a degree in Israel.

As for safety of living in Israel, it is much safer than living in London, LA, NYC or Chicago, I am sure.

From what I've experienced, studying and living in Israel is amazing, and the quality of teaching and research there is of pretty good standard. Not sure whether it is best suited for your particular career objectives though. I hope there is someone on this forum who can be more helpful!
