Through a preparatory program

Graduates of a pre-academic mechina(our wording)

Graduates of pre-academic mechina programs at any institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education, who received a mechina completion certificate: their mechina grades will replace their bagrut grades, and they will be considered to meet the admission requirements as holders of a full bagrut certificate, without a psychometric exam, subject to the following conditions: a weighted average of mechina grades of at least 92 (as detailed in Section 1).

Special track

For adults and those who have studied before1

Mechina for applicants aged 30 and over

What you study

Hebrew language teaching certificate studies provide comprehensive academic knowledge of the language throughout its periods and styles, and introduce students to issues, research methods, and ways of understanding the structure of the language. The curriculum combines a comparative approach with the study of related Semitic languages to examine the development of Hebrew over the years and introduce students to new linguistic research methods. During their studies, students gain in-depth knowledge of linguistics, as well as tools for understanding and analyzing the rules that govern Hebrew grammar.
