The curriculum of the university includes the following subjects: Hebrew for adults; Jewish history; history of Zionism and Zionist parties; doctrine of Zionist-Socialism; Palestinian sciences: history, geography, social, political and economic problems; the economic and social foundations of Zionism; history of world Socialism and Jewish Socialist movements.
