Located in the city of Karmiel, in the heart of the Galilee, the College was founded to meet national goals in higher education:

• Provide top-level academic programs in engineering, science, and management for Israel’s population, with a special focus on the Galilee region

As a non-profit independent institution, Braude College is governed by a Board of Trustees, a Board of Directors, and an Academic Council, ensuring academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, and strategic development.

Since its founding in 1994, Braude College has been dedicated to training highly qualified engineers who contribute to the advancement of the Galilee and to Israel’s economic and technological progress.
We believe that education is the foundation of regional strength. Beyond teaching, our mission is to nurture the next generation of innovators and leaders, encouraging them to stay in the North, and play a vital role in shaping the future of the Galilee.
To achieve this, we:

• Integrate students into local industries during their studies
• Offer applied training and mentorship in collaboration with regional companies
• Foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and career opportunities aligned with the needs of the local economy
• Build a strong sense of community, positioning the Galilee as a hub of growth and opportunity

Over the past three decades, Braude College has proudly graduated more than 11,000 engineers, who are making significant contributions to Israeli industry and helping to transform the Galilee – a region of both strategic and national importance.
