Admission requirements

Intake for the 2026/27 academic year

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

Regular track

Exact Sciences suitability score

  • Exact Sciences suitability score* meets the admission thresholdacademic year: 2026/27Acceptance threshold: 640Rejection threshold: 639
  • A score of 110 or higher in the quantitative reasoning section of the psychometric exam

Regular track

Psychometric exam and suitability score

  • A suitability score—exact sciences* of 600 or higher, and a general psychometric score of 720 or higher, and a score of 135 or higher in the quantitative reasoning section of the psychometric exam

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

Without a psychometric exam

  • An average grade of 90 or higher in bagrut mathematics and physics combined, at 5 units in each, or in a recognized university pre-academic mechina
  • All applicants seeking admission through one of the admission tracks that do not require a psychometric score must reach at least the Advanced A level in English on the Amirnet exam, as detailed in the timetable

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

An average of bagrut grades of 108 or higher

  • A grade of 90 or higher in mathematics at 5 units or more, in the bagrut or a recognized university pre-academic mechina; and: an average of bagrut grades of 108 or higher
  • All applicants seeking admission through one of the admission tracks that do not require a psychometric score must reach at least the Advanced A level in English on the Amirnet exam, as detailed in the timetable

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

A bagrut average of at least 100

  • A bagrut average of at least 100 and also a passing grade in the bagrut mathematics exam at 4 units or more and also a grade of 80 or higher on the mathematics placement exam ((under this admission track, meeting the above mathematics knowledge requirement is not required)
  • All applicants seeking admission through one of the admission tracks that do not require a psychometric score must reach at least the Advanced A level in English on the Amirnet exam, as detailed in the timetable

Another track

High-school students who studied in the Science-Oriented Youth Unit

  • High school students who studied at the Youth for Science Unit and met the requirements for transferring to the School of Mathematics may be admitted with special status as long as they are high school students. Once they are eligible for a bagrut certificate, and only after meeting the transfer requirements, they will be transferred to regular student status.

Special track

Exceptional admission

  • Your credentials do not meet the requirements? You may want to check the conditions for consideration for exceptional admission
For adults and those who have studied before1

Transfer route from The Open University of Israel

  • The transfer route from The Open University of Israel allows students to begin a single-major mathematics program and be admitted to the second year.
  • Applicants must have at least Advanced B level in English by the start of their studies

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

For every track

  • A grade of 80 or higher in mathematics at 5 units in the bagrut or in a recognized university pre-academic mechina, or a grade of 70–79 in mathematics at 5 units in the bagrut or in a recognized pre-academic mechina and a grade of 75 or higher on the mathematics placement test, or a grade of 85 or higher in mathematics at 4 units or more in the bagrut or in a recognized university pre-academic mechina and a grade of 75 or higher on the mathematics placement test
  • No academic history that prevents admissionThe applicant has not previously studied at an academic institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education
  • Applicants seeking admission on the basis of a recognized pre-academic mechina are required to have completed a mechina in the science track (mathematics and physics at 5 units each)
  • The university’s general admission requirementsAn Israeli bagrut certificate or a high-school completion certificate from abroad
