Admission requirements

Intake for the 2026/27 academic year

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

Admission based on bagrut - applicants with an advanced-level science subject

  • Mathematics: 4 units with a grade of 85 or higher, or 5 units with a grade of 75 or higher.

  • Mathematics: 4 units with a grade of 80 or higher, or 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher, or a mathematics mechina with a grade of 70 or higher.
  • Bagrut in 5 units of physics with a grade of 60 or higher, or 5 units in another science subject with a grade of at least 70 (chemistry, biology, electronics, electronics and computers, engineering sciences, biotechnology, biotechnological systems, computational science and data science), or one of the mechinot: physics or the new mechina: foundations of programming and logical thinking with a grade of 70 or higher
  • English level placement: “Beginners”/“Basic” level before starting studies (Amirnet exam/English score on the psychometric exam)

Regular track

Admission based on sekhem score

  • Sekhem score above 180
For adults and those who have studied before2

Admission based on a practical engineer diploma

  • Practical engineer diploma from MAHAT/Ministry of Education: grade average of at least 85
  • Mathematics: 4 units with a grade of 80 or higher, or 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher, or a mathematics mechina with a grade of 70 or higher.
  • English level placement: “Beginners”/“Basic” level before starting studies (Amirnet exam/English score on the psychometric exam)
  • A practical engineer is not required to have a bagrut certificate.

Admission based on previous studies

  • Bachelor’s degree with an average of 80 or higher
  • Mathematics: 4 units with a grade of 80 or higher, or 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher, or a mathematics mechina with a grade of 70 or higher.
  • New mechina: Programming fundamentals and logical thinking, grade of 70 or higher
  • English level placement: exemption before the start of studies (Amirnet exam/English score on the psychometric exam) or submission of a transcript showing an English exemption—with approval from the English coordinator.
  • Eligibility for a bagrut certificate is not required.

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

For every track

  • A full bagrut certificate is a mandatory prerequisite for admission through all tracks
  • ** Psychometric exam results are valid for 10 years from the date of the exam.
  • Admission based on a pre-academic mechina specifically designed for this purposeA certificate from a pre-academic mechina specifically for engineering and exact sciences, completed in a 1-year track (9 months of study) at another academic institution, will be recognized as an alternative to the bagrut certificate, according to the admission framework for each study program as detailed on the website. Approval from the Vice President for Academic Administration is required. Admission to studies is conditional on the track meeting the requirements of the Council for Higher Education's (CHE) mutual recognition reform, while ensuring the required number of hours and subjects are covered in the 4 core subjects.

What you study

Computer science combines theoretical knowledge with practical, applied knowledge of using computer systems, as well as designing and building them. During the program, students must choose 1 or more specializations. Institutions offer various specializations, such as software development, internet technologies, signal processing and machine learning, artificial intelligence and machine learning, big data, communications and the internet, cybersecurity, hardware design, computer systems, signal and image processing, computer communications, software systems, and more. The curriculum includes foundational subjects in science—mathematics, physics, and computer science; in engineering—linear systems, digital systems, and electrical engineering; as well as theoretical and practical courses related to the areas of specialization. The program also includes a final project in the last year of study.
