Goals of the Pre-Academic Program

• In the framework of these courses, emphasis is placed on preparation for courses in mathematics and physics in the first year at the College, which go beyond preparations for matriculation exams administered by the Ministry of Education in these subjects.
• During the year, students learn English as preparation for first degree studies as is customary at the College, beyond the preparations for matriculation exams in English administered by the Ministry of Education.
• During the year-long studies, students of the Pre-Academic Program are hosted at the College’s laboratories: the Industry and Management Laboratory, the Electronics Laboratory, the Communications Laboratory and the Advanced Materials Laboratory.  Consultations are also held for students with heads of the College’s departments regarding continued studies.
• During the study year, tours are also held at high-tech industrial plants in Jerusalem.

The courses at the Pre-Academic Program are specially structured to prepare the student in the best manner possible for matriculation exams.  Pre-Academic Program's lecturers have been selected especially for their superior teaching abilities and their experience in preparing for matriculation exams.  High scores in mathematics, physics and English increase the student’s chances to be accepted at the College and enable him/her to apply to the College in several acceptance tracks.
