Who we are
Humanities and Arts | About
As Israel’s Institute of Technology, the Technion provides technological training and education and for prospective scientists and engineers. For a long time, the main mission of the Humanities and Arts Department at the Technion was to complement the technical training with a wide array of courses in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts. The upshot was to serve Technion’s students with enrichment courses.
Since 2020, the Department mission is taking a new direction and important changes in the department’s teaching and research goals are being implemented.
