Admission requirements

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

Automatic admission / bagrut track(our wording)

  • -Bagrut track: weighted bagrut average of 85 or higher, a grade of 70 or higher in 5 units of mathematics or 80 or higher in 4 units of mathematics, and passing an internal assessment.

Regular track

Automatic admission / bagrut and psychometric exam track(our wording)

  • -Bagrut and psychometric exam track: meeting the institution’s required weighted score and passing an internal assessment (applicants with a psychometric score of 600 or higher and a quantitative reasoning score of 120 or higher will be exempt from the internal assessment).

For reservists

Special admission pathway for applicants who served as combat soldiers in regular or career service

  • The College of Management – Academic Studies recognizes combat soldiers’ contribution to the country and offers a special admission pathway with more flexible requirements. Applicants who meet the eligibility requirements may be admitted as regular students even if they do not meet the regular automatic admission requirements.
  • Eligibility requirementsAn applicant who served in the army as a combat soldier, holds a “Gold” honorable discharge certificate, and wishes to be admitted to studies within 5 years after the end of the year of discharge from regular or career service.

Through a preparatory program

Shchakim mechina

  • Applicants who do not meet the required bagrut average but meet the required mathematics grade may be admitted to studies after successfully completing the Shchakim mechina.

Through a preparatory program

Mathematics refresher mechina

  • Applicants who meet the required bagrut average but do not meet the required mathematics grade may be admitted to studies after passing an internal assessment, participating in the mathematics refresher mechina, and successfully completing it.

Through a preparatory program

Shchakim mechina and mathematics refresher mechina

  • Applicants who do not meet the required bagrut average or the required mathematics grade may be admitted to studies after an internal assessment and participation in both mechinot (the Shchakim mechina and the mathematics refresher mechina), and successful completion of both.

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.

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.
