The Weiss-Livnat International MA Program in Holocaust Studies is a branch of the Weiss-Livnat International Center for Holocaust Research and Education – a center dedicated to promoting academic scholarship while also preserving Holocaust memory and awareness. Our MA program is the only graduate studies program of its kind. With a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the Holocaust, we offer our students a wide range of courses in the disciplines of History, Anthropology, Psychology, Education, and the Arts. In one year, our students attain the knowledge and skills to continue in academia or set out on a career path in Holocaust education or commemoration.
Academic courses are supplemented by a series of local seminars throughout the year. Our most anticipated seminars are the annual, multi-day trips to Yad Vashem and the Ghetto Fighter's House Museum. Furthermore, we offer students the chance to participate in exclusive internships in Israel and abroad in which they gain hands-on experience in archival research and implementation of educational projects.
For the coming academic year 2023-2024 there are still several scholarships left and we are still accepting new students.
