1. 1

   The short answer

   Getting in

   International applicants should check the university’s official admissions pages for entry requirements, document lists, language requirements, deadlines, and any programme-specific steps. The university states that it aims to strengthen its international profile, but the exact application process for international students should still be confirmed directly with admissions.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the information available here; confirm the current cost with its admissions office. Living costs in Amman will depend on housing, transport, and day-to-day spending, so you should budget separately for those expenses.

   Coming from abroad

   The university is in Amman, in the Jubaiha District, so an international student should confirm housing, transport, and visa arrangements before applying. The language of instruction is not stated, so check the programme page and admissions office for the language requirement, along with whether your chosen course is available to international students.
