Engineering B.Sc. Studies in Israel

Israel Is Developing

In Israel, all universities and several private colleges offer undergraduate programs for B.Sc. degrees. Engineering is a massive and varied area. In recent years the most popular areas were those that have to do with computers and programming as well as the biotechnology and biomedical ones. The reason is the growing demand for professionals of these areas in Israeli and international companies. However, other fields of expertise are seeing growing demand such as civil and environmental engineering and materials and nano-technology engineering.

Study Programs

Usually, the duration of B.Sc. studies in engineering is four years. Most of the first two years of B.Sc. studies in engineering are dedicated to general subjects shared by all engineering students. By the end of the second year you will have to choose a track and take the rest of your courses in accordance to the specialization. Among the tracks: mechanical eng., chemical eng., nuclear eng., electrical and computer eng., Information System eng., etc. All programs require participation in practical labs during the studies and handing in a final project.

Getting Into Engineering Programs

All institutions require standardized test (SAT or ACT or AST or Gau Kao), with SAT scores of 1400 or higher (or their equivalent in other tests). If you are not a native English speaker you must take an English proficiency test such as TOEFL. Your TOEFL score needs to be 580 or above. All institutions also take into account your high school average, and special attention is given to your grades in math and physics.
