  • Applicants whose high school’s language of instruction was not Hebrew and/or who took the psychometric exam in a language other than Hebrew must present a score of at least 110 on a Hebrew knowledge test (Yael exam / Yaelnet exam) administered by the National Institute for Testing and Evaluation.
  • Mathematics requirement in the bagrutAdmission is conditional on a grade of at least 70 in the bagrut certificate at 5 units, or a grade of at least 85 in the bagrut certificate at 4 units. Applicants who do not meet the math admission requirements must take a prerequisite course in mathematics and receive a grade of at least 70 in it, or pass an exemption exam with a grade of at least 70. Applicants who do not pass the prerequisite course or exemption exam will not be able to begin their academic studies.
