Technion
Description

Technion - Israel Institute of Technology is a public research university. (more)

“Technikum” - the original German name of the Technion - is a tale of the century. The second industrial revolution created the printing presses and communications infrastructure allowing Jews scattered across the globe to organize in face of rising anti-Semitism.
As Jews were often barred from technical education, the establishment of a technical school was a first priority to rebuilding a Jewish homeland.
The Technion was to become unique worldwide as a university that would precede, create, shape, and protect a modern state.
The cornerstone laid on April 11, 1912, set in motion a century of progress responding to national and global needs.
Technion would grow rapidly, becoming a global pioneer in fields such as biotechnology, stem cells, space, computer science, nanotechnology, and energy.
Three Technion professors have won Nobel Prizes. As it celebrates its cornerstone centennial in 2012, Technion City is a thriving world center of research and teaching, with 12,850 students and 80 graduate programs trailblazing excellence in research and teaching for the benefit of humanity.

Princeton University
Description

Princeton University is a private Ivy League university that offers a variety of master’s degrees and Ph. D.s. (more)

Princeton University is consistently at the forefront of research and academic excellence. This is partially due to its unique approach to education, which stresses the importance of independent study.
Princeton’s undergraduate academics grant bachelor’s degrees in the arts and sciences. In their third and fourth years, all undergraduates must pursue independent research in their chosen field of study.
Depending on your major and academic goals, this can vary from lab research to a creative project. The graduate school at Princeton University offers a variety of master’s degrees and Ph. D.s, as well as continuing education programmes to suit diverse academic needs. The graduate school does not use a credit-based system, and your department and advisor will determine your curriculum.
In light of this, the university aims to support its students with significant financial assistance. Princeton’s need-based financial aid programme replaces loans with grants so that its students won’t be overwhelmed with debt after graduation.
These programmes and more are available to those who qualify. Tuition costs shouldn’t discourage qualified students from applying to Princeton.
