Review of exceptional cases

  • The departmental admission requirements take all science and mathematics subjects in the bagrut into account. Therefore, applicants with strong aptitude for science and mathematics in the bagrut and psychometric exam who do not meet the admission requirements will be referred for a review of exceptional cases.
For adults and those who have studied before4

Certified practical engineer

  • Certified practical engineer: average of 85 or higher in external grades.
  • Admission is based on the average of external grades, excluding the laboratory and project.
  • Mathematics and Physics supplementary mechina, in accordance with the bagrut threshold requirements.

Practical engineer who is not certified

  • A practical engineer in the final year of studies at the School of Practical Engineering will be admitted conditionally based on: 1. At least one MAHAT grade of 90 or higher.
  • 2. Supplementary mechina programs in mathematics + physics.
  • 3. An external grades average of 85 must be presented before the start of the academic year.
  • 4. A diploma must be presented by the end of the first year.

Previous studies

  • Earn at least 40 credit points with a cumulative average of at least 85 (no failing grades).
  • Applicants with a cumulative average of 80–85 will be referred to the department admissions committee for review, together with a transcript.

Transfer track after one academic year at The Open University of Israel

  • Conditional on earning 30 credit points in the same field with an average of 80 and a grade of at least 70 in each course, and following review by the department admissions committee.

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

For every track

  • Mathematics4 units with a grade of at least 80; 5 units with a grade of at least 70. A grade below the required level requires a mathematics completion mechina before starting studies.
  • English4 units with a grade of at least 70. 5 units with a grade of at least 65. A grade below the required grade requires a supplementary English mechina.

What you study

Industrial engineering and management is a broad, dynamic degree that combines several fields of knowledge and has grown alongside technological developments in industry. These developments have created a need to solve system-wide problems from an engineering perspective, and for engineers who can take responsibility for production, increasing output, streamlining systems, improving organizational processes, developing research methods, managing teams and departments, and more. Industrial engineering and management studies combine theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as engineering and technological knowledge alongside theories in the social sciences and management. Courses in the degree include: - core courses in mathematics and physics; courses in engineering theory (electrical and electronics engineering, materials, and manufacturing processes); courses in economics and finance (such as engineering economics, marketing, finance, and accounting); courses in organizational and management theory; and courses in programming and information systems.
