Admission requirements

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

Quality bagrut (exemption from the psychometric exam)(our wording)

Applicants with a quality bagrut certificate with a grade of at least 85 and an advanced-level subject at 5 units are exempt from the psychometric exam

Regular track

Bagrut and psychometric exam(our wording)

Applicants without a quality bagrut are required to take the psychometric exam (suitability score: 50% bagrut, 50% psychometric exam)

Special track

Up to 10% exceptional admissions

The College will allow the admission of up to 10% of applicants through review of exceptional cases if they do not meet the required admission requirements but have other special personal qualities, such as extensive experience in instruction and/or volunteer work in education, exceptional achievements supported by letters of recommendation, relevant higher education in non-academic settings, and an impressive record of overcoming a weak socioeconomic and cultural background. Every applicant with exceptional admission credentials will undergo an admission interview and be admitted on condition of meeting requirements at the end of the first year.

For adults and those who have studied before1

Practical-engineer diploma holders

Holders of a practical engineer diploma issued by the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Economy and Industry (MAHAT) will be considered to have a certificate equivalent to a bagrut certificate for the purpose of registering for academic studies. Their final grade will be considered a bagrut average.

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

Each applicant will have a personal interview
