You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

Regular track

Admission based on the psychometric exam and bagrut

  • A. Score of 620 on the psychometric exam (with an emphasis on multidisciplinary reasoning)
  • B. Score of 130 in the quantitative reasoning section of the psychometric exam
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in mathematics• 4 units—with a grade of at least 85
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in mathematics• 5 units—with a grade of at least 79

Regular track

Range for referral to the admissions committee

  • a. Psychometric score in the range of 600–619 with a multidisciplinary or quantitative-oriented emphasis and/or b. Score of 125–129 in the quantitative reasoning section of the psychometric exam
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in mathematics4 units – with a grade of at least 85
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in mathematics5 units – with a grade of at least 79

Regular track

Admission based on a sekhem

  • A. Sekhem of 630 between the bagrut average, the psychometric score, and the score on the quantitative section of the psychometric exam
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in mathematics4 units – with a grade of at least 85
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in mathematics5 units – with a grade of at least 79

Through a preparatory program

Conditional mechina track (mechina for engineering and exact sciences at Tel-Hai)(our wording)

  • B. Final mechina score with an average of at least 80
  • F. Amirnet exam with a score of at least 90
  • Admission under the following conditions: completion of every course with a grade of at least 60 in the first semester of the degree program; a grade of at least 70 in the following subjects: 2 mathematics subjects, physics, computational algorithmics, and principles of programming in Python.
  • A grade of at least 80 in mathematics as part of the mechina
  • English is a required subject in the bagrut (this requirement is part of the admission requirements for the mechina)4 units – with a grade of at least 80
  • English is a required subject in the bagrut (this requirement is part of the admission requirements for the mechina)5 units – with a grade of at least 65
  • A passing grade in a physics course in the mechina
For adults and those who have studied before5

Practical engineers (software or electronics)—admissions committee(our wording)

  • Range for referral to the admissions committee: average of 80 or higher on external exam grades
  • Applicants who are not yet eligible for a diploma will be admitted on the condition that they present an engineering technician diploma by the end of their first year of study.

Practical engineers from another field

  • They will be assessed based on their achievements in the psychometric exam, bagrut (with an emphasis on science and math subjects), and practical engineering studies

Academic studies completed at a recognized institution

  • They are required to present proof of eligibility for a bachelor's degree and a transcript
  • Consultation with the department head is required before registering
  • The application will be referred to the admissions committee, and preference will be given to graduates of the Faculty of Science

Partial studies/department transfers at Tel-Hai

  • A transcript including 20 or more academic credit points in the exact sciences
  • The application will be referred to the admissions committee

These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.

The requirements are in the institution's words. Names and labels marked "our wording" are our own, written from the same page.

For every track

  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in English• 4 units—with a grade of at least 75
  • Mandatory bagrut requirement in English• 5 units—with a grade of at least 60
  • Bagrut in physics (at any number of units) with a passing grade, including a final project in physics, or successful completion of a preparatory physics course as part of a mechina for engineering and exact sciences
  • The English level required for admission to the department is Advanced A level (a score of at least 90 on the Amirnet exam or the English section of the psychometric exam). Accepted exams: the English section of the psychometric exam, the Amirnet exam, or the SAT test, based on the score in the Critical Reading section. Exam scores are valid for 10 years from the test date.
  • Hebrew level – applicants whose first language is not Hebrew must present a Yael exam score of at least 90.
  • eligibility for a bagrut certificate
