The English Department offers its students an opportunity to participate in a new summer course on Shakespeare in Verona, Italy. Hosted by the Skenè Research Centre, Verona, this exciting initiative will approach Shakespeare from a double perspective that integrates source studies and performance studies. Upon successful completion of the course (including a test and a final paper), participants will earn two academic credit points. More details here. For information, contact the Department secretary

The English Department is pleased to announce a number of scholarships for B.A. students enrolled in the English Literature program (double major with Education). Successful applicants will receive a scholarship of 5,000 NIS at the end of their first year and a tuition scholarship of 7,000 NIS in their second year.

Film Club

Film Club 2025-26

The English Department film club is run jointly by students and members of staff. Films are screened in the multimedia room of the Humanities library, and are preceded by a brief introductory talk (no spoilers). Not all films are adaptations of a literary classic, but some literary connection, or degree of literary interest is to be expected.

The theme for 2025-26 is Musicals.
