Biotechnology Engineering


 The Biotechnology specialization is a modern subject taught in higher institutes and high schools. This field integrates multiple areas of knowledge, such as:
  • Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Genetic Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering

The 21st century is characterized by biotechnology, and it is expected that this specialization will contribute to the development of industries producing new and unique materials that enhance human well-being in various aspects of life, such as:

  • Medicine: Developing new drugs with the help of microorganisms.
  • Agriculture: Developing new plant varieties using cultivation techniques and genetic engineering methods.
  • Food: Using microorganisms to produce new food products.
  • Chemistry: Producing new chemicals with the help of microorganisms.

These industries require a qualified workforce that combines knowledge of natural sciences and engineering. During their studies in the biotechnology specialization, students acquire interdisciplinary knowledge and develop advanced technological skills. This program presents important topics including scientific subjects such as physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, instrument chemistry, and cell biology.


 Two years, 4 semesters, morning classes.


 At the end, the student receives a "Biotechnology Engineer" certificate (diploma).


  

A) The applicant must have earned a high school diploma, or must have obtained a Bagrut certificate with 3 units in mathematics, 3 units in English, and 2 units in Hebrew, with a grade of at least 55. Students who studied in high schools abroad must undergo an equivalency process through the Ministry of Education's Certificate Equivalency Department.

B) The college may admit the student conditionally if they pass the Bagrut exams in two of the three subjects (Hebrew, English, Mathematics). In this case, the student is given the opportunity to meet all requirements during the first academic year. The student cannot advance to the second year before meeting the admission requirements. The college offers the opportunity for the student to study and take the exam for the subject they are missing.

  1. The student must pass a personal interview. (Students who meet the above conditions will be invited for an interview; after presenting the interview results to the admissions committee, the best candidates will be selected as there are limited seats available).

Exemption from the Bagrut Certificate:

  • The student can be exempt from the Bagrut certificate if they have completed high school and are over 35 years old.
  • Or if they hold a first-degree certificate from an accredited institution in the country.
    Note: The above conditions are subject to change according to the college and the technological institute (M.A.T) requirements.

Transfer from Other Colleges:
Students may transfer from other colleges based on the following conditions:

  1. The student must have a Bagrut certificate or its equivalent and meet the applicable admission requirements for the year of transfer.
  2. Their studies at the previous college must have been in a regular format.
  3. A student transferring to the college during the academic year will only be accepted after presenting a clearance certificate from the previous college, along with a transcript and personal file.
  4. A student transferring to the college at the beginning of the academic year will only be accepted after reviewing the grades obtained at the previous college. Final acceptance will be confirmed after approval by M.A.T. The transfer request should be submitted to the education secretary according to the college's admission and registration system, and the request will be forwarded to the college administration for necessary procedures.
