Bar-Ilan University’s Faculty of Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Engineering that will broaden your knowledge in this field and enable you to secure your future in any related discipline.
BIU’s Alexander Kofkin Faculty of Engineering was established in October 2011. Since then, it has been ranked number one among the engineering faculties in Israel.
Future engineers and scientists gain the latest knowledge of algorithms, signal processing, and computer communication hardware – systems that depend on thousands of calculation units. We provide a broad systemic view and enable our graduates to face humanity’s everyday challenges.
The faculty has six study programs. Four new programs were recently added to our two original programs: Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. These include Industrial Engineering and Information Systems, Data Science Engineering, Software Engineering, and Materials Engineering.
Our interdisciplinary research has a far-reaching impact on almost every area of human activity, including energy and climate, human health, communications and computing, finance, and music.

Note: Non-English-speaking students who have graduated from high school in a non-English-speaking country are required to show proficiency in English to be accepted to the international Bachelor’s program. For students who did not score high enough on the relevant exams, there is a requirement to take English as a Foreign Language courses. For more information on English language exams and grades, please see “Admission Requirements.”
During the first year, students will learn basic mathematics, physics, and programming-related tools. These subjects are the basic requirements to construct fundamentals for engineering thinking and capabilities.
After obtaining the relevant background knowledge for the program, students choose the specific engineering track they wish to follow from their second year. Tracks include electrical engineering, computer engineering, industrial engineering and information systems, materials engineering, data science engineering, and software engineering.
Credit requirements will differ depending on the track.
Program Credits Needed to Graduate
51 Credits in Engineering Studies
10 Credits in Judaic Studies*
3 Credits in General Studies**
*Judaic Studies courses are academic courses in a variety of fields within the Faculty of Jewish Studies and are offered through The School of Basic Jewish Studies. All Jewish students are required to take some Judaic Studies courses. See here for more information.
Students who are not Jewish and would like to convert these 10 credits to General Studies courses should contact their program coordinator.
**General Studies courses are any course offered in the university (more than 6,000) that is not related to your major (or double major) and is not Judaic Studies. Students with a minimum level 4 Hebrew are permitted to take courses in Hebrew, should they choose.
This degree program is aimed at students whose goal is to learn and study in Hebrew. During the first year, students take all their courses in English while participating in a mandatory, intensive Hebrew Ulpan (language course). After completing the first year, students will integrate into the Hebrew program. By the end of the program, students must have completed approx. 500-hours of Hebrew.
Note: In some programs, students will need to start their Hebrew Ulpan during the summer semester before the beginning of their degree and continue during the summer semester at the end of the first year. Completion of the Hebrew language requirement with a passing grade (up to level 4) is required before carrying on with the program.
Bar-Ilan University welcomes students who have made Aliyah (immigrated to Israel) and looks forward to accompanying them on their academic journey. We aim to ensure that all olim (immigrant) students have everything they need to succeed in their studies and have a rewarding and entertaining life on campus.
BIU has partnered with the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration (MOIA) and the Israel Student Authority (ISA) to facilitate the smooth absorption of olim students and help them integrate into Israeli society.
The Student Authority supports students who choose to make Aliyah or are already in Israel by providing them with assistance to enable them to succeed in their studies. This assistance includes a full-tuition scholarship for eligible* olim students between the ages of 21 and 35 who start their studies within 36 months of receiving their new immigrant status.
* Eligibility conditions are subject to the basic assistance rules of the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration as well as the current guidelines and procedures of the Israel Student Authority.
If you are a new immigrant, find out if you are eligible for assistance from the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration by getting in touch with the Israel Student Authority directly.
