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

  • An applicant who meets all the admission requirements except for 1 requirement (not including eligibility for a bagrut certificate) will be invited to a personal interview at the discretion of the admissions committee.
  • An applicant is required to pass a preparatory physics course with a grade of 60 as a prerequisite for registration for some courses in the first year – in the departments of Materials Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biotechnology Engineering.
