Special track
Exceptional admission
- The Council for Higher Education allows the Center to exceptionally admit up to 10% of students who do not meet the admission requirements.
These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.

- Applicants whose first language is not Hebrew are required to take the Yael exam or the TIL Institute Hebrew placement test—score of 110 or higher.
