Through a preparatory program
The mechina that replaces the psychometric exam
- Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements can register for the mechina that replaces the psychometric exam
For adults and those who have studied before2

- Scope of studies – at least 30 credit points.
- Grade average – at least 80.
- No more than 5 years have passed since completion of the previous studies.
- These conditions are minimum requirements for consideration and do not necessarily guarantee admission.

- Applicants aged 30 or older who do not have a bagrut certificate may apply after being accepted to an approved pre-academic mechina and before starting their academic studies, based on their psychometric exam results.
