The College's geographic location is a direct response to national and regional needs: it serves as an academic, technological, and scientific center for the Galilee, increases the accessibility to higher education in the north of Israel.

At the present, there are more than 5500 students studying in Ort Braude – most of them are being trained for a B.Sc. degree in Engineering. . All of its educational programs are approved by the Council for Higher Education in Israel.

Engineering Departments (B.Sc. academic degree)

  1. Mechanical Engineering;
  2. Electrical and Electronic Engineering;
  3. Industrial Engineering and Management;
  4. Software Engineering;
  5. Biotechnology Engineering;
  6. Information System Engineering;
  7. Optical Engineering

It takes four years on average to finish a B.Sc. academic degree (eight full-time semesters). Ort Braude believes in combination of practical abilities with academic knowledge, and therefore students from all engineering departments, except for software and information system, must complete a training period at an approved industrial company in Israel or abroad to be eligible for the B.Sc. Diploma. During this period, the student integrates into an engineering or a research team and gets an experience – something that will help the future engineer.

Degree in Applied Mathematics (B.Sc. academic degree)

In 2009, the Department of Mathematics opened a three-year (six full semesters) study program towards a bachelor's degree (B.Sc.) in Applied Mathematics. The program consists of theoretical background, along with solutions of application oriented problems. This study program is designed to prepare the student for future employment by the demanding high-tech industries in Israel and worldwide.

Practical Engineering (Hebrew: הַנְדְּסַאי, handesaee‎)

A shorter, two year study program offers its graduates a Practical Engineer's certificate signed by the Ministry of Economy (formerly the Ministry of Industry and Trade). The program is available in the following subjects: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Software Engineering, Biotechnology Engineering, Architecture and design, Medicinal Chemistry and Industrial Engineering and Management.

gollark: It's not murder if you do not consider fetuses "people", which is very common.
gollark: Things are actually quite good in many ways. Things are, by many metrics, better than they've ever been. Extreme poverty continues to trend vaguely downward, technology advances, people are getting richer, etc.
gollark: So it's better than conclusions which don't follow from premises.
