Mathematics & Computer Science Program

General

In our faculty you can study and research various areas of computer science and mathematics:

1. Pure Mathematics Track

2. Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Track

3. Theoretical Computer Science Track

4. Applied Mathematics Track

5. AI - Machine Learning - Computer vision Track

Admission Requirements

Admission to all the tracks is based on the combination of the following factors:

• Your grades in the BSc courses.
• Applicants must present a GPA of 90 (or the equivalent).
• In cases of GPA lower than 90, candidates must add a one-page letter to the submissions file explaining why they should be considered.
• Recommendation letters: Reference letters are an important ingredient in the application, especially if they are from a faculty or a supervisor who worked closely with the candidate on a research project, or other scientific-related activity. On the other hand, we are typically not interested in receiving generic letters from lecturers in courses. If you cannot obtain a meaningful recommendation letter, it is not a problem and your application will be nevertheless considered.
• Details of your math/CS related background (publications, participation in various science programs, mathematics or computer science olympiads, etc)
• Results of the interview with the Board of Studies committee. When invited to such an interview you will receive a letter explaining what is expected and how to get prepared to it.
• If you have a degree from a non-Israeli university then results of the GRE Math examination could be useful but not mandatory.

Note: Applicants with a lower grade average than required that believe that their grade average does not represent their capabilities should add to the application a one-page (maximum) statement explaining their capacity to succeed in the MSc track.

Application deadline

Application forms can be submitted between November 5^rd and March 20^th. Late applications (i.e. after the above-mentioned deadlines), are considered in special cases only. 

The earlier you register, the higher the chance of getting an answer sooner.
