For adults and those who have studied before2

Admission based on a practical engineer diploma

  • Practical engineer diploma from MAHAT/Ministry of Education: grade average of at least 85
  • Mathematics: 4 units with a grade of 80 or higher, or 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher, or a mathematics mechina with a grade of 70 or higher.
  • English level placement: “Beginners”/“Basic” level before starting studies (Amirnet exam/English score on the psychometric exam)
  • A practical engineer is not required to have a bagrut certificate.

Admission based on previous studies

  • Bachelor’s degree with an average of 80 or higher
  • Mathematics: 4 units with a grade of 80 or higher, or 5 units with a grade of 70 or higher, or a mathematics mechina with a grade of 70 or higher.
  • New mechina: Programming fundamentals and logical thinking, grade of 70 or higher
  • English level placement: exemption before the start of studies (Amirnet exam/English score on the psychometric exam) or submission of a transcript showing an English exemption—with approval from the English coordinator.
  • Eligibility for a bagrut certificate is not required.

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

For every track

  • A full bagrut certificate is a mandatory prerequisite for admission through all tracks
  • ** Psychometric exam results are valid for 10 years from the date of the exam.
  • Admission based on a pre-academic mechina specifically designed for this purposeA certificate from a pre-academic mechina specifically for engineering and exact sciences, completed in a 1-year track (9 months of study) at another academic institution, will be recognized as an alternative to the bagrut certificate, according to the admission framework for each study program as detailed on the website. Approval from the Vice President for Academic Administration is required. Admission to studies is conditional on the track meeting the requirements of the Council for Higher Education's (CHE) mutual recognition reform, while ensuring the required number of hours and subjects are covered in the 4 core subjects.

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.
