Advanced degrees

Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering (M.Sc):

The M.Sc. program in Electrical Engineering targets individuals with an honors bachelor's degree in engineering and exact sciences from an institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education in Israel. This program provides an opportunity to deepen knowledge across various engineering branches, focusing on theoretical or applied research in computer engineering, nanoelectronics, electro-optics, and bioengineering.

Research is conducted under the guidance of distinguished faculty members from the Faculty of Engineering, each highly regarded in their respective fields. Exceptional graduate students can access exclusive scholarships, grants, international conference participation, and optimal research conditions, enabling dedicated focus on their chosen research field. Financial prizes are awarded to master's students who publish journal articles or present at conferences, and outstanding fellows may integrate into the faculty's teaching staff.

The program offers two tracks:

  • Track A: With a thesis
  • Track B: Without a thesis (involves a final project)

Electrical Engineering Information Processing and Data Science (M.Sc):

The M.Sc. program in Electrical Engineering, specializing in information processing and data science, is designed for graduates with honors from engineering, exact sciences, or life sciences faculties in an institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education. A diverse range of knowledge fields and courses allows students to specialize in their preferred areas. Research is conducted under the guidance of faculty members with esteemed reputations in engineering.

Exceptional students can join the faculty's teaching staff, receive scholarships, and access research conditions conducive to their chosen focus. The program includes two tracks:

  • Track A: With a thesis
  • Track B: Without a thesis (involves a final project)

Admission requirements: Candidates with a bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering with an average of at least 85. The Faculty of Engineering admits the candidates with the highest achievements and, therefore, is not obliged to accept all the candidates with the above data.

 

Direct Path to a master's degree

This program is designed for exceptional students in their fourth year of electrical engineering or computer engineering who aspire to engage in research or assume challenging roles in the hi-tech industry. Eligible students, having completed all required courses in electrical/computer engineering bachelor's degree studies during years 1-3 with a minimum grade of 90, can submit their candidacy for this direct master's degree track to the master's degree committee.

All the guidelines applicable to a master's degree in the thesis track also pertain to the direct master's degree track, except for the required hours for degree completion. In this track, students must accumulate two academic credits less than the hours mandated in the thesis track.

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D)

Pursuing a Ph.D. involves conducting original, theoretical, or experimental research. Doctoral students must demonstrate independence, scientific curiosity, initiative, originality, and the drive necessary for independent research work. Exceptional Ph.D. candidates benefit from unique scholarships, awards, participation in international conferences, and excellent research conditions. The program encompasses relevant courses and the development of a customized doctoral thesis for each candidate. The faculty acknowledges and rewards doctoral students who publish articles or present at conferences, with the possibility of additional scholarships subject to instructor approval. Furthermore, students can integrate into the Faculty of Engineering teaching system during their studies.
