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

  • Applicants who meet the minimum requirements for applying will complete a questionnaire and, at the same time, be invited to an admissions interview.
  • Applicants whose first language is not Hebrew are required to take the Yael exam or the TIL Institute Hebrew placement test—score of 130 or higher.
  • A full bagrut certificate or a mechina completion certificate.
  • To apply to either track (admission index score or bagrut only), a Hebrew expression grade of 75 or higher is required. Applicants with a bagrut grade of 70–75 in Hebrew expression may register only if their psychometric score is 600 or their TIL score is 650.
