Admission requirements
Intake for the 2026/27 academic year
Regular track
Computer Science, double major – Mathematics and Computer Science | Admission based on the psychometric exam/Netiv La'Akademia exam [quantitative sekhem and, in addition, psychometric score](our wording)
- Quantitative sekhem: 720
- Psychometric exam, general multi-domain score / Netiv La'Akademia exam: 600
- Mathematics: 5 units, grade 87
- Quantitative reasoning: 125
- English level: Basic level
- Hebrew level for applicants required to demonstrate Hebrew proficiency: Level 5
- Applicants must meet the admission requirements of both departments
- Alternative for applicants who do not meet the Mathematics requirement (5/87): 1. Quantitative reasoning score of 137 + Mathematics 5/80 2. Physics 5/82 + Mathematics 5/80
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
- Applicants who meet the English and Hebrew requirements and whose quantitative sekhem and/or psychometric exam score is up to 10 points below the required score, and/or who are up to 5 points short in one of the required components, will be reviewed by the department’s admissions committee based on all their credentials.

What you study
In an age when artificial intelligence is already writing code, the question arises: who understands what lies behind the code? The bachelor's degree in Computer Science
The program combines a mathematics degree with core computer science subjects and includes most of the required courses in both fields. The ratio of mathematics courses to computer science courses is 2:1 in favor of mathematics. Students can choose between 2 programs: a 3-year program and a 4-year program. Courses include infinitesimal calculus, algebra, introduction to computer science, physics, combinatorics, introduction to systems analysis, logic and set theory, data structures, probability theory, function theory, differential equations, field theory, topology, and more.
