Program Overview

Program Description:

Studying at The university of Jordan (UJ) leads to academic qualification and language learning highly respected not only throughout the Middle East region but throughout the globe. LC gives students the opportunity to learn Arabic in its native environment. UJ also, naturally, enables students to experience first-hand the rich cultural context within which Arabic functions and to forge valuable contacts and friendships. Additionally, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, in whose capital Amman the learners of Arabic will be residing throughout their period of study, is one of the most welcoming Middle Eastern countries to international students, one of the most open and liberal, and one of the most culturally wealthy. The capital Amman is the most exciting city in the country, and among the best in the region. The University of Jordan campus, in whose heart UJ is located, is the most beautiful in the country, perhaps even in the region.

At the undergraduate level, students have the choice to select from among 63 different programs in the Arts, Business Administration, Science, Shari'a (Islamic Studies), Medicine, Nursing, Agriculture, Educational Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Law, Physical Education, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Humanities and Social Sciences, Rehabilitation Sciences, Information Technology and, most recently, Arts and Design. For those interested in graduate education, the University offers 30 doctoral programs, 81 Master's programs, 16 programs in Higher Specialization in Medicine, one program in Higher Specialization in Dentistry, 3 Professional Diploma Programs, and 6 interdisciplinary Master's programs across the wide spectrum of academic disciplines. From an international perspective, the University offers 63 international programs at the undergraduate level, and 130 international programs at the graduate level and in all fields of specializations. All programs offered by the University combine traditional academic lecturing with the more liberal methodologies of instruction which are based on dialogue, research and creative thinking. Theoretical instruction is further assisted with interactive multimedia teaching techniques and computer-based instructional materials to support, and eventually discard, traditional teaching methodologies. Field work, practical training, and applied research are essential components of most of the programs offered by the University.
