Degree Programs and Admission Streams

 

 

Degree Programs and Admission Requirements

 

The following table lists all departments that offer Bachelor’s degree programs, according to faculty.
Next to the program, you find the Psychometric Entrance Test scores required for admission based on the psychometric score alone. Information about the Psychometric Entrance Test is available on the following link.
Next to the Psychometric Entrance Test score you will find the required score on the new SAT (since March 2016). Applicants tested earlier will find a comparable table on the following link. We also accept ACT scores, as listed in the table. General information about the SAT is available on the following link.

In some programs there is an acceptance score and rejection score. Applicants whose score is between the two, will be on a waiting list until a final score is determined.

Some programs use only one type of score (e.g. general score for Medicine, QE - Quantitative Emphasis score - for the Faculty of Science etc.). Some programs accept the higher score from the general or QE and some programs accept the VE (Verbal Emphasis Score) as well and will consider the higher of all types of score. The heading of each table (or next to the department name, if exceptional) we note the type used.
In accordance, the SAT score is listed as an average that can be calcualated in three ways: general score (50% language, 50% math); QE (0.67*math + 0.33*language); VE (0.67*language + 0.33*math).

General admission requirements are detailed, according to country of origin, on the following link.

All undergraduate programs require language proficiency in Hebrew and English.

Once a program closes for further applications, all applicants missing criteria or that have been conditionally accepted will be rejected, with the exception of 2023 Rothberg Mechina students.
In some programs, once the missing document/score is submitted, applicants may ask to be included on the waiting list.
