Studying with us is first and foremost an experience. Our lecturers who have won the title of best lectures in Israel for the fifth year in a row, love the involvement of the students in the class, love to hear them express opinions, ask questions, and challenge them. Those lecturers are connected to theory and practice and come from industry and have grown within the financial systems so that they understand them in depth.
