  • The duration of studies for practical engineers who are completing a degree depends on the exemptions approved for the student by the department head, the course load the student chooses, and scheduling constraints.

Confirmation of registration

An applicant who registers for studies will receive confirmation of registration via email immediately upon reception of the information by the registration office. The confirmation of registration indicates that the applicant’s registration has been entered into the system. This confirmation does not constitute a confirmation of acceptance to Shenkar.

Acceptance notice

Applicants who meet all of the admission requirements will receive an email message with notification of their acceptance, and will be asked to make arrangements for the initial tuition payment.

Rejection notice

Rejected applications will receive a message about the rejection. Applicants who are rejected from one department may apply to another department whose admission requirements match their qualifications, provided that the registration is still open. (We recommend that applicants register for both departments at the initial stage.)

Notic: All of the notices are issued by Shenkar in Hebrew

Request to switch / add department:

A request to switch departments may be submitted via email only to the registration office. Such requests should note the applicants’ full personal data, the departments for which they have registered, and their new choice of departments.

  • A request for change within the Faculty of Design may be submitted up until the registration deadline.

  • Applicants who are accepted for studies must make the initial tuition payment by the stipulated date; if payment is not made, the applicant’s acceptance will be canceled.
