MATAR is an undergraduate excellence program at the Hebrew University, a highly competitive joint BSc degree that equips its graduates with a unique toolkit, specially tailored to fit the challenges of tomorrow’s leaders.

All MATAR students are dual-majors, coming from varied disciplines including Computer Science, Statistics, Business, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Communications, and Law. The program provides students with the background to ask and answer questions at the interface between technology and the social sciences. For example, What are the broader impacts of a technology? How to design tech to be maximally effective? How to convert data into understanding? Students in the program gain foundations via rigorous introductory classes in Mathematics, Economics, Statistics, Communications and Computer Science. A specialized curriculum at the interface between technology and the social sciences builds on this foundation, culminating in a year-long capstone entrepreneurship course. Many courses restrict enrollment to the elite MATAR cohort, capped at 30 students, ensuring substantial interaction with top HUJI faculty.
