about the preparatory school for engineers
The Engineering Preparatory School is intended for engineers who have graduated up to 5 years from the date of graduation and for students who are studying for an engineering degree in morning or evening courses in a combined course in their second year of study, who wish to be admitted to a complete bachelor's degree program at Bar-Ilan University in logistics or technology management courses in the Department of Management.
Candidates with engineering diplomas over 5 years old will be referred to the Exceptions Committee and their acceptance may be considered based on their continuous practical experience in the field.
As part of the preparatory course, courses are taught at the various Ort colleges. The curriculum in the preparatory school is the same for both tracks: logistics and technology management.
A candidate who wishes to be admitted to the program and meets the required admission conditions, must submit the admission documents to the management of the colleges where the preparatory courses are held.
Only graduates and students of the following majors may register for both tracks:
Industry and management, electronics, software, electricity, machinery, civil engineering.
Graduates and students of various engineering majors can submit an application to be admitted to the completion program (preparatory studies), but their candidacy will be reviewed by the exceptions committee.
Admission to engineering preparatory studies in accordance with the university's policies and guidelines is the responsibility of the management of Ort Colleges.
The opening of the preparatory school is conditional on the required number of students and the decisions of Bar-Ilan University.
Admission conditions for the preparatory school for engineers
Deadline for admission to preparatory school - September 30.
The conditions for admission to the preparatory school for engineers and the documents required for the preparatory studies will be as follows:
- Eligibility for a matriculation certificate. Applicants without a high school diploma who are over the age of 30 will be given the opportunity to study in the "30+ Preparatory School" of Bar Ilan University only and have graduated with an average of at least 75, until August 31st of the preparatory year. For the avoidance of doubt, applicants under the age of 30 who do not have a matriculation certificate, must show eligibility for a matriculation certificate by the end of April of the preparatory year. As a result, these candidates must take the winter matriculation at the latest!
- 4 credits in English in the matriculation certificate with a grade of at least 56. Regardless of the year in which the candidate was accepted for the supplementary studies at Ort Colleges.
Candidates with 3 credits (on the matriculation certificate) in English will be required to complete 4 units of English preparatory school, from the dedicated preparatory schools at Bar-Ilan University.
- Students with an engineering diploma and without a matriculation certificate - the engineering diploma will be considered a substitute for the matriculation certificate, but they will still be required to complete 4 credits of English within the dedicated preparatory courses at Bar Ilan University in the summer semester before being accepted for the degree.
- A score of 85 or higher in the English section of the psychometrics/Amir test or a score of 185 in the Amir. It must be accessed by July of the preparatory year.
-
We strongly recommend taking the Amir exam as early as possible - and no later than June of the preparatory year.
Very important: the number of English courses at the various levels on behalf of the management department is extremely limited, therefore only students who present a score of 85 or higher in the Amir exam will receive priority in registering for English courses adjusted to the study hours and days of the courses in the first degree.
-
It is emphasized that in any case the English courses are beyond the study days and hours of the department courses in the first degree.
A student who presents the test score at the Amir after July 2025, we will not be able to guarantee him/her registration for English courses at adjusted hours at the university and may have to study English at another academic institution outside the university that is recognized by the English department as a foreign language at the university.

Candidates who did not obtain a score of 85 in the Amir/M test, must take a course in English at Bar Ilan University or at another place acceptable by the department of English as a foreign language at the university. The course must be studied in the summer semester before the start of studies in the first degree and only after completing it with a passing grade (with a grade of 60), will they be eligible to register for the academic year at the university. It is very important to make sure that the courses in English given by other institutions outside the campus are recognized by the English department as a foreign language at the university.
- Graduate engineers: a weighted average of at least 80 in the internal courses in the engineer track, when all courses have a passing digital grade - a grade sheet + diploma must be attached
- Engineers studying: engineering studies must be a minimum of two years. Grade sheet of the first year in the engineering studies with an average of 80. These candidates will undertake to meet an average of at least 80 at the end of the engineering studies before being admitted to the university when all courses have a passing digital grade.
At the time of admission to the preparatory studies for engineers, the candidate must sign a statement that he knows that he will not be able to be admitted to the university if he has not met all the admission conditions. Returning the statement with the student's signature is a mandatory condition for admission to the preparatory school!
Students who completed engineering studies outside the ORT network will be assigned by the college to one of the majors and their eligibility data and exemptions will be examined accordingly.
Questions and clarifications on the subject of admission and studies for the Engineering Preparatory School will be directed by the students to the college administrations only and not to the representatives of the management department at Bar Ilan University.
