For every track

• ·A bagrut grade of 75 or higher in mathematics at 5 units, or *a bagrut grade of 85 or higher in mathematics at 4 units (all applicants admitted on the basis of 4 units are required to take a mathematics placement test)
• ·An additional science subject: physics at 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher; chemistry or a technology subject at 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher, with a physics placement test; or biology at 5 units with a grade of 80 or higher, with a physics placement test; or a grade of 70 or higher in Classical Physics 1 at Tel Aviv University, or in Mechanics or Electricity and Magnetism at The Open University of Israel
• ·An overall psychometric score of 620 or higher, or a bachelor's degree from an academic institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education with an average of 85 or higher, and a grade of 70 or higher in bagrut physics at 5 units; or in a physics placement test; or in Classical Physics 1 at Tel Aviv University; or in Mechanics or Electricity and Magnetism at The Open University of Israel; or a grade of 80 or higher in each and an average of 85 or higher in the following courses: Calculus 1A or Calculus 1B or Linear Algebra at Tel Aviv University, or Infinitesimal Calculus 1 or Infinitesimal Calculus 2 or Linear Algebra 1 at The Open University of Israel; and Classical Physics 1 at Tel Aviv University, or Mechanics or Electricity and Magnetism at The Open University of Israel
• ·No previous academic studies at an academic institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education, or previous academic studies were completed with an average of 75 or higher and were not discontinued for academic reasons (such as failing courses)
• ·Applicants who graduated from high schools abroad and whose certificate is not equivalent to an Israeli bagrut certificate: these applicants must complete a year at a recognized mechina in the science track (5 units in mathematics and 5 units in physics).
• ·Graduates of the mechina for the Faculty of Engineering must have completed a mechina in the science track (5 units in mathematics and 5 units in physics). Admission is based on a suitability score, calculated from the psychometric exam score combined with the bagrut average or the mechina average.
• ·The university’s general admission requirements — An Israeli bagrut certificate or a high-school completion certificate from abroad
