Admission requirements

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

Psychometric exam or quality bagrut(our wording)

Psychometric exam / quality bagrut with a high average

Special track

Exceptional admission

The college will allow students who do not meet the admission requirements to be admitted to each program of study, up to a limit of 10%, on the basis of special personal circumstances that justify exceptional admission or the need to make higher education accessible to unique populations. Exceptional cases will be approved after an interview with the head of the department.
