Special track
Exceptional admission
- The College allows applicants who do not meet the above admission requirements to be admitted, up to 10% of the number of students admitted to each program. The considerations guiding exceptional admission are: special personal circumstances (such as professional experience in the relevant field); affirmative action for disadvantaged populations; expanding access to academic studies for applicants who are the first in their family to pursue higher education.
For adults and those who have studied before4
Holders of a practical engineer certificate in one of the following fields: electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, or software
- 3-year trackHolders of a practical engineer diploma in one of the following fields: electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, or software, with an average grade of 80 or higher and a final grade of 70 or higher in mathematics (equivalent in level to 4 bagrut units).
- Admitted students are required to take a mathematics preparatory course, except for those with bagrut in mathematics at 5 units with a grade of 80 or higher. Passing grade in the mathematics preparatory course: 70.
Will be admitted to the program / Holders of a practical engineer diploma with an average grade of 75 or higher and a mathematics grade of 70 or higher(our wording)

- 4-year trackAdmission may be granted to holders of a practical engineer diploma with an average grade of 70–74, subject to a personal interview.
Holders of a recognized academic degree from Israel or abroad
- Holders of a recognized academic degree from Israel or abroad, subject to the Dean’s approval.
Graduates of the 30+ mechina
- 4-year trackGraduates of the 30+ mechina with a grade of 75 or higher in the mechina mathematics course.
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 studied at a high school where the main language of instruction is not Hebrew are required to take a Hebrew screening test (Yael exam).

What you study
The program combines a mathematics degree with core computer science subjects and includes most of the required courses in both fields. The ratio of mathematics courses to computer science courses is 2:1 in favor of mathematics. Students can choose between 2 programs: a 3-year program and a 4-year program. Courses include infinitesimal calculus, algebra, introduction to computer science, physics, combinatorics, introduction to systems analysis, logic and set theory, data structures, probability theory, function theory, differential equations, field theory, topology, and more.
