IDC Herzliya’s founders sought to create an Israeli university in which personal achievements go hand in hand with social responsibility. Since its establishment in 1994 as Israel’s first private, non-profit institution of higher education, IDC Herzliya has spearheaded a pioneering and innovative approach to interdisciplinary higher education.
27 years later we were authorized to offer PhD programs in law, psychology and computer science. This significant step establishes our position as Israel’s very first private university.
From the very beginning, IDC Herzliya has been committed to educating future leaders. The myriad of graduates who have established themselves in professional, business, and public service roles are proof of our success.
IDC Herzliya is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in education and research and the training of future leaders by providing educational programs which combine academic study with practical, hands-on training and encouragement for innovative thinking. Our faculty is dedicated to IDC Herzliya’s primary goal: giving our students the tools they need to become leaders both in Israel and abroad.
In addition to the aforementioned goals, we are committed to dealing with the issues of: Israel’s social & moral agenda; constitutional & governmental reconstruction; economic growth based on a free enterprise system; reevaluation of Israel’s diplomatic strategies and policies, and more.
