Special track
Review of exceptional cases
- An applicant who does not meet the admission requirements may contact the departmental admissions committee.*
- In accordance with Council for Higher Education guidelines, the department may admit up to 10% of applicants who do not meet the admission requirements as exceptional cases, plus an additional 8% of exceptional cases on the grounds of reserve duty and service as combat soldiers during regular service, as well as parents of a child under 13 whose spouse served at least 42 days during the year preceding registration.
- In addition, in exceptional and rare cases, in accordance with Council for Higher Education guidelines and at the department’s discretion, an exemption may be granted and admission without a bagrut certificate may be allowed for applicants who have demonstrated that their ability to study was severely affected due to significant and lengthy service in the war (more than 90 days) and/or a significant injury sustained during military service in the war and/or other affected groups, such as those who were orphaned of their parents as a result of the events of 7.10, returned hostages, and similar cases.
For adults and those who have studied before1
Applicants over 30 who do not have a bagrut certificate
- Applicants over the age of 30 who do not have a bagrut certificate must complete a 30+ mechina (180 weekly hours) with an average grade of 80 or higher.
- Personal admissions interview – the departmental admissions committee gives special weight to a personal and professional connection to the fields of culture and society.
These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.
For every track
- Applicants who studied at a high school where the language of instruction is not Hebrew must take a Hebrew proficiency exam (Yael exam).
