Reichman University

Reichman University (Hebrew: אוניברסיטת רייכמן) is Israel's only private university, located in Herzliya, Tel Aviv District. It was founded in 1994 as the IDC Herzliya private college, before being rebranded in 2021.

It receives no direct government funding, and in August 2021 became Israel's first private university.

History

Reichmann University was founded in 1994 by Uriel Reichman as the Israeli private college Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC Herzliya, Hebrew: המרכז הבינתחומי הרצליה).

The campus is located in the city of Herzliya, Israel, six miles north of the city Tel Aviv, on the grounds of a former Israeli Air Force base. It served the first squadron of the air force for three months in the War of Independence.

In 2009, Alpha Epsilon Pi opened the first college fraternity in Israel at the IDC.

In 2012, the college attracted controversy for the School of Sustainability being funded by Israel's major polluting companies.

In 2018, the college was authorized by the state council to run several doctoral courses but was not permitted to brand itself as a university. In 2021, the college was permitted to brand itself as a university.

The school does not receive direct government funding.
