* The order of this two courses can be swapped.

# Students who studied for five units in physics or chemistry for "Bagrut" do not need to take the corresponding introductory courses.

& for students who luck the knowledge of E-mail, Internet , Windows.

** instead of this course you can take Mini Project in Bio-Informatics - number 205- 19361.
