The candidate must have earned a Master's degree in a program requiring the submission of a Master’s Thesis from BGU or another comparable academic institution, and must have high grades from the Master’s studies and Thesis.
Candidates who have not yet fulfilled their Master’s degree requirements may be accepted conditionally, contingent upon their proper completion of additional studies; this is a temporary status that may be conferred for only one semester.
(See specific requirements for BGU students interested in the combined or direct track.)
Holders of a Master's degree without a Thesis may not register for the PhD degree. It is possible to complete the required Thesis at our University by registering for "Thesis completion" (as part of the registration for the Master's degree). One may register for the PhD program after completing the Thesis.
For Master’s thesis completion, inquire here: welcomebgu@bgu.ac.il
In some departments, it is possible to register for the "Combined Track" after one year of research (inquire at the Kreitman School).
