M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering

Stages: there are two stages of study.

1. Accumulative Studies: students working in the industry, and in parallel plan to complete an M.Sc. degree. They are admitted to the Accumulative Study (AS) Stage, which can last no longer than 3 academic years. After this time, the student is transferred to the Regular Studies (RS) Stage, where they can complete their requirement.
   1. Minimum GPA during AS stage: 70
   2. Student must accumulate a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 credit points.
   3. Take all mandatory departmental courses
   4. Passing of courses: no later than semester 4. All mandatory courses should be taken in the first year of the M.Sc.
   5. 25% of the courses must be taken in the status of “regular student”
2. Regular (Full-time) studies: They are directly admitted to the Regular studies (RS) stage. Students must have a permanent supervisor guiding his research for the thesis.
3. Supplementary Stage: A candidate whose GPA is lower than the required minimum (but not lower than 75), may be admitted in a provisional status for a period of one year. Those candidates can then be admitted as RS students pertaining they pass their supplementary courses.
   1. Students in this status must complete the department’s two mandatory courses with a minimum average of 70.

1. Based on the criteria of knowledge base and undergraduate background, some candidates will be required to complete several undergraduate courses. Admission will be in a special status – supplementary studies.
2. The supplementary program will be determined by the Head of the Departmental Committee for M.Sc. Studies, based on the candidate's knowledge base and undergraduate background. For more information, please see the M.Sc. Regulations. HERE
3. Prerequisites for continuing to M.Sc. studies: completing each course with a grade of 75, and all courses with an average grade of 80. In addition, the students must meet any other requirements set by the Faculty.
