It has 26,000 students in 106 departments and promotes interdisciplinary cooperation in its programs to tear down barriers between classic areas of study.

The university encourages researchers and students to work together in new and surprising directions. TAU is also a pioneer in affirmative action, wide-scale community programs, and builds bridges with universities globally. Among its 2,200 faculty members are internationally renowned scientists who have made significant contributions to the fields of particle physics, astronomy, cell biology, biotechnology, genetics, agriculture, and fibre optics, as well as in every area of the humanities, social sciences, medicine and law.
