Admission requirements

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

Bagrut certificate

Bagrut certificate with an average of 85 + 4 units in English

Through a preparatory program

Admission of applicants with mechina certificates

Emuna College accepts applicants for a bachelor's degree who graduated from other pre-academic mechinot, provided they completed a designated track for a mechina certificate recognized by the Council for Higher Education, with an English level equivalent to at least 4 units of English, in accordance with the syllabus requirements issued by the Council for Higher Education for designated tracks in the humanities and social sciences.
The final average of grades from graduates of other mechinot will be calculated based on the following subjects: Mathematics at a level of at least 3 units. English at a level of at least 4 units (bonus points will be given according to Ministry of Education guidelines) Academic literacy, 1 unit; computers, 2 units (the computer course includes 1 unit in databases).

Special track

Exceptions to the admission requirements

The college will allow the admission of up to 10% of the students in each study program who do not meet the admission requirements for reasons such as: improving access to higher education in Israel. The unique needs of diverse communities in Israel and the multicultural nature of society. Special personal and academic circumstances that justify exceptional admission.

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

For every track

• An aptitude test assessing general knowledge in the fields of Judaism and theater.
• A practical test consisting of 2 acting pieces—a dramatic monologue and a comic monologue—to be performed by you. Each monologue should be 1.5 minutes long. The monologues must be from a play (not original writing). Using props is recommended and encouraged.
• Interview with the head of the department.
If your average is below 85, you may be required to take the psychometric exam or a Council for Higher Education exam.
