  • For applicants who do not meet the admission requirements and studied at a recognized academic institution (in Israel or abroad), their previous academic achievements will be considered if the following conditions are met:
  • Scope of studies – at least 30 credit points.
  • Grade average – at least 80.
  • No more than 5 years have passed since completion of the previous studies.
