  • With an average grade of 92 or higher

Regular track

Psychometric exam or quality bagrut(our wording)

  • Psychometric exam or bagrut certificate 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 because of the need to make higher education accessible to unique populations.
For adults and those who have studied before1

Applicant over the age of 30 who does not have a bagrut certificate

  • An applicant over the age of 30 who does not have a bagrut certificate is required to take the psychometric exam and complete the college’s mechina studies, totaling 6 weekly hours.

These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.

The requirements are in the institution's words. Names and labels marked "our wording" are our own, written from the same page.

For every track

  • Personal interview
  • Regular students who took the bagrut abroad, or students in a conversion program who studied for a degree abroad, must take the Yael exam (Hebrew proficiency test).The minimum score for admission is 110
