Admission requirements

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

Regular track

Computer Science, single major—Track A (89–101)(our wording)

  • Sekhem: minimum 74. The sekhem score is determined by weighting the bagrut and psychometric exam scores.
  • Psychometric exam: score of at least 690.
  • Minimum Mathematics product of 360 (number of study units multiplied by the bagrut grade)

Regular track

Computer Science, single major – Track B (89–101)(our wording)

  • Sekhem: minimum 74. The sekhem score is determined by weighting the bagrut and psychometric exam scores.
  • Mathematics bagrut: 5 units with a grade of at least 90.
  • Psychometric exam, quantitative reasoning section: a score of at least 130.

Regular track

Computer Science, double major (with any other department)

  • Sekhem: minimum 76. The sekhem score is determined by combining bagrut and psychometric scores.
  • Psychometric exam: a score of at least 690
  • Minimum Mathematics product of 360 (number of study units multiplied by the bagrut grade)
For adults and those who have studied before1

What you study

We invite you to join the Computer Science family at Bar-Ilan University, with a faculty of leading lecturers.

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.
