Sha'arei Mishpat College

What Sha'arei Mishpat College does

Sha'arei Mishpat College (המרכז האקדמי שערי מדע ומשפט) is a private Israeli academic institution founded in 1995 and headquartered in Hod Hasharon, with a planned relocation to a new campus in Ra'anana (Dafna 9) for academic year 2026. The college operates three faculties — Law, Management, and Health Sciences — delivering undergraduate and graduate degree programs (LL.B, LL.M, M.A in Law for non-lawyers, B.A and M.B.A in Business Administration, B.A in Accounting, B.A in Public Policy, B.A in Health Systems Management, B.Sc in Medical Imaging, B.S.N in Nursing, M.H.A) plus certificate, preparatory, and continuing-education courses including mediation and a Directors Course offered jointly with the National Directors Training Center. Its core pedagogical technology is the proprietary HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) methodology integrated into law studies, complemented by the Matara bar exam preparation program that combines HOTS with mentoring, legal writing workshops, and bar exam support.

The institution's commercial model is direct-to-consumer tuition: prospective students enroll through an online registration portal, with academic advisor consultations and hybrid (in-person + Zoom) program delivery. Revenue is generated primarily from tuition and academic fees, supplemented by a 400 ILS registration fee; specific tuition pricing is governed by internal regulations rather than public disclosure. Marketing is conducted through the college website, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and on-campus events (career fairs, open days, KPMG and other employer spotlights).

The college serves high school graduates, working professionals seeking upskilling, and career changers — including candidates who cannot meet university psychometric exam thresholds — and channels graduates into employer pipelines via partnerships with the Big 4 in Israel (KPMG, EY, BDO, PwC), Israeli banks (Bank Discount, Mizrahi-Tefahot), and major healthcare providers (Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet, Assuta, Meir). Outperformance signals include a 3rd-place national ranking among Israeli colleges in bar exam performance, a 98% first-attempt bar pass rate among Matara participants, a 56.25% first-time pass rate overall (54 of 96), and a 100% CPA certification pass rate reported for 2020 accounting graduates.
