Notes * Student numbers include students studying at BGU in Beer-Sheva, Sde Boker, and Eilat, in both degree and non-degree programs. They do not include international students, students in pre-academic prep courses, the Air Force pilot program, and auditors. The above figures refer to first semester only. ** The Interdisciplinary Studies Unit oversees students enrolled in interdisciplinary schools and programs, including the School of Brain Sciences and Cognition and the Goldman Sonnenfeldt School of Sustainability and Climate Change.

*** Actual number of students enrolled does not match total, because there are students enrolled in multiple faculties or pursuing multiple degrees.
