School of Communication

The School of Communication at Netanya Academic College is a leader in the field of communication studies and communication research, a young and vibrant field of research that combines elements from a variety of perspectives including sociology, politics, psychology, language, and art. These come together through the most up-to-date technological and cultural innovations that enable the school to provide students with relevant infrastructure and tools to help them expand their horizons and have a more critical view of modern society.

We believe that the age of digital media requires the school to provide its students with comprehensive knowledge in a variety of media and practical practices, in order to prepare them for the dynamics of the media market.

As part of our philosophy, we do not limit students to "tracks" that bind them to a particular field but give them many and varied tools to add to their theoretical and professional "toolbox", which they’ll be able to use in any field or media they choose.

Relevant Tools from the Best Media Researchers

The age of digital communication requires comprehensive knowledge and a deep understanding of the technological and social processes that are taking place these days. No matter where you work after studying communication, as part of the media organizations, or in the world of public speaking and public relations, the School of Communication at Netanya Academic College offers you relevant tools from the best media researchers and industry experts in the country.

In both the school’s B.A. degree which is a dual degree in Business Administration and Communication Sciences and in our M.A. degree you will find a variety of courses that provide a broad theoretical understanding and familiarity with the "here and now" of the practical world. This includes regular meetings with people from the field as well as receiving practical tools to create a wide range of content for printed, electronic, and digital media. 

The school offers students advanced editing studios, HD TV studios, and the school’s 24/7 FM106 radio station "Radio Kol Netanya". Courses are taught by top-notch lecturers who have both theoretical and practical experience in the field. As part of their studies, students meet many media professionals, are exposed to work opportunities in the field and are offered a selection of excellent, practical, and academic projects to focus on, which allow them to break into the real world of media or pursue graduate and doctoral studies at any leading academic institution.

A Faculty of Lecturers That Is Considered to Be at the Forefront of Communication Research

At the School of Communication at Netanya Academic College, the study cycles are small and the numerical ratio of faculty members to students is particularly high, which allows us to give personal attention to each student. At the school, each student’s personal development is monitored by senior lecturers who assist in making each student the best they can be, academically and professionally.

The school’s faculty is considered to be at the forefront of communication research and is among the best researchers at Israeli universities. Our faculty members publish in the best journals in the world and present at the best international conferences. Thanks to this fact, the college's School of Communication was the first among Israeli colleges to offer its students the possibility to study for an M.A. degree in Communications, which has since become a permanent certification awarded to the school.  

The School of Communication combines a high university level and an intimate college feel and relationship that is fully oriented to the outside world of employment.
