Its ‘cultural mosaic’, as the university calls it, is symbolic of one of its key aims, to encourage mutual understanding between the different identities that co-exist in Israel.
Organised across seven faculties – Humanities, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, Law, Social Welfare and Health, Education and Management – its main areas of specialism are in social sciences, humanities, law and education.
Its research spans a wide variety of subjects and fields, among them, the study of psychological stress, information processing and decision-making, evolution, the Holocaust, maritime studies, natural and environmental resources, shipping and aviation, and the family. While its research facilities include The Jewish-Arab Centre, the Herzl Institute for the Study of Zionism and Israel, the Study of Pilgrimage, Tourism and Recreation, the Interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of Emotions and the Centre for Democratic Studies.
Haifa also has its own diving facility known as the Caesarea that supports the Israeli Antiquities Authority as well as the Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences, which focuses on the study of the Mediterranean, marine biology, geosciences, and maritime civilisations.
