Reichman University

Reichman University, also known by its former name IDC Herzliya, is a private higher education institution located in Herzliya, Israel. It offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs across disciplines such as business, law, computer science, government, communications, and the arts. The university emphasizes interdisciplinary study, entrepreneurship, and innovation, delivering courses in both Hebrew and English to serve Israeli and international students.

Situated on a modern campus in the Herzliya Pituach area, the university provides facilities for teaching, research, and student life that support its academic mission. In April 2023, the institution’s website was temporarily disrupted by a DDoS attack carried out by the group Anonymous Sudan, an event that was part of a broader campaign against Israeli educational targets. While specific enrollment figures are not provided in the source material, the institution is recognized as one of the leading private universities in Israel.

Reichman University distinguishes itself through its interdisciplinary approach, encouraging students to combine fields such as technology and management or law and policy. It maintains strong ties with industry, offering internships, startup incubators, and joint research projects that enhance practical learning. Notable schools within the university include the Arison School of Business, the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy, and the School of Sustainability, each reflecting specialized competencies.

The institution operates as an independent private university, governed by a board of trustees and funded primarily through tuition, donations, and private partnerships. It was originally established in 1994 as the IDC Herzliya and was renamed Reichman University in 2021 following a major philanthropic gift. This structural setup underscores its autonomy from public university systems while aligning with national higher education standards.
