Overview
If you are interested in studying at the Feinberg Graduate School for a short period of time ─ either for training purposes or as part of scientific cooperation with one of the Weizmann Institute’s research groups ─ you can seek recognition as a visiting student. Visiting students at the Feinberg Graduate School are exempt from tuition fees, are entitled to take courses, and are subject to the school’s regulations concerning courses and exams. You can receive the status of visiting student for one week up to one year. However, if the WIS scientist who is your host is also your official co-advisor, the Feinberg Graduate School may consider an extension of your status.
Details
How to apply
If you are interested in being a visiting student, the first step is to reach out independently to a principal investigator (PI) at the Weizmann Institute to select the lab you wish to work in. An Institute PI must host you during your time at FGS. The scientific department to which this scientist belongs must contact the relevant FGS faculty coordinator and complete the approval process, which includes filling out an online application and submitting the following documents:
- Official confirmation from the student registrar of the institution where you study, indicating that you are a full-time student during the academic year in which you will be a visiting student. If your hosting scientist is one of your co-advisors, the confirmation should state this explicitly.
- Photocopy of your identity card (if you are Israeli) or of the passport page with your photograph (if you are a foreign citizen).
- Signed Intellectual Property Agreement form.
Only the hosting department may apply on your behalf. In addition to submitting the online visiting student form, the hosting department must supply the Feinberg Graduate School with the required confirmation from your home institution prior to your arrival. Note that a visiting student has no legal status at the Weizmann Institute without the approval of the graduate school.
