Why I study at Ono:
Dan Glazer Soccer Player, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Israel National Team
“Ono Academic College supports me and many other footballers and athletes who spend many hours on the field and in training, with a schedule that varies from week to week. I admit that I was worried about starting a bachelor's degree that would take a lot of time away from football, but I was glad to find that the two could be combined successfully and I am now able to both study and play the sport I love. I encourage everyone to study here.”
I believe that:
Adi Bichman Director of the Field of Sports
“The sports industry and the world of sports are growing at all levels at a dizzying pace. In the sports specializations offered in the various degrees, we equip students to be the most innovative and contemporary sportsmen in the fields of education, management, entrepreneurship, professionalism and care. Our students and graduates are becoming key people in the evolving industry. I am proud that the sports programs at Ono are unique and number one in the country and finally align with academic programs around the world.”
