Admission requirements
Intake for the 2026/27 academic year
Regular track
Communication Systems Engineering, single major | Admission based on the psychometric exam/Netiv La'Akademia exam [engineering sekhem and psychometric exam in addition](our wording)
- Engineering sekhem: 547
- Psychometric exam, general multi-domain score / Netiv La'Akademia exam: 600
- English level: Basic level
- Hebrew level for applicants required to demonstrate Hebrew proficiency: Level 5
- Until July each year, applicants may be admitted without bagrut in Physics if they meet all admission requirements, provided they complete the course "Introduction to Physics—Mechanics" in the summer semester at the Center for Pre-Academic Studies. Starting in July each year, only applicants who have completed 5 units of Physics with a passing grade or an equivalent course approved by the Center for Pre-Academic Studies will be admitted, in addition to meeting all admission requirements
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
- Applicants who meet the English and Hebrew requirements and whose engineering sekhem and/or psychometric score is up to 10 points below the required score will be reviewed by the department admissions committee based on their overall data. Review of exceptional cases is subject to availability of places in the department and may take place at different times during the registration period.

What you study
The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering is a multi-domain program that provides an in-depth introduction to all the components of communications networks and systems, in terms of software, hardware, and technologies.
Communication systems engineering deals with how data is transmitted between different components, from communication between individual components (such as communication between a mobile phone and a base station) to large communication systems networks. Students receive training in systems design and management, network performance analysis, optimization, and more. Courses in the degree include mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and industrial engineering and management, as well as specialized courses in communication systems and networks, such as computer communication networks, embedded systems, advanced protocols, distributed algorithms, information theory, operating systems, network programming, and more.
