FAQ for Current Students
Here is a list of common questions for current students studying in the MA in Conflict Resolution and Mediation program at Tel Aviv University.
In case of an emergency, you can contact the 24/7 hotline, available every day, including holidays and Saturdays: 052-534-6188 (+972-52-534-6188 when calling internationally)
The number is FOR CALLS only. It is not possible to message the hotline.
If you require immediate assistance (need to call the police or an ambulance, for example), call the hotline to receive instructions on how to act.
For practical information on how to act in various situations outside of emergencies, contact your Community Leader during regular office hours (10AM–6PM) through the usual channels. We kindly ask that you use the hotline appropriately, as it is not designed for general queries or concerns.
*Please note that you need to handle your own health appointments. Make sure you know your medical insurance details and always carry your insurance number.
Also, keep emergency numbers (like Police 100 and Ambulance 101) handy (saving them on your phone is a great idea).
