Admissions
University admission in Jordan is strictly regulated by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Requirements depend largely on your nationality, as this determines which admission stream (program) you qualify for.
The information on this page is a general guide, not a fixed rule for every applicant. Requirements vary by nationality, certificate, stream, university, degree and program, and are subject to current Ministry of Higher Education and university regulations. Winchester confirms what applies to your case before you apply.
Jordanian citizens studying inside the country primarily apply through the Regular (Competitive) Program or the Parallel Program.
As a general guide, applying to a specific major usually requires a Tawjihi (or foreign equivalent) score at or above the minimum below. Exact minimums can change and differ by university and program:
The Regular Program
This is highly competitive and handled entirely through a centralized portal called the Unified Admission Coordination Unit. Admission is based purely on your Tawjihi score. If accepted, your tuition is heavily subsidized by the government.
The Parallel Program (Al-Muwazi)
If your score is slightly lower than what the competitive regular program requires for your dream major, you can apply directly to the university via the Parallel Program. You still must meet the minimum thresholds above, but the acceptance scores are lower, and the tuition fees are significantly higher.
Foreign Certificates (IGCSE, SAT, IB)
If you are a Jordanian who did an international curriculum, you must obtain an official Equivalency Certificate (Mu'adalah) from the Jordanian Ministry of Education to convert your scores into a Tawjihi percentage before applying.
International students are highly welcomed and usually apply through the International Program.
Admission requirements for non-Jordanian applicants can differ from those for Jordanians. The minimum scores and cutoffs that apply depend on your nationality, certificate, program and university, and are set by the Ministry of Higher Education and each university under the rules in force for the current academic year. Winchester confirms the requirements for your case before you apply.
High School Equivalency
Your high school diploma must be authenticated by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your home country, and then equated by the Jordanian Ministry of Education upon arrival.
Language Proficiency
Some programs taught in English may ask for proof of English proficiency, such as an English placement test or TOEFL/IELTS scores. Whether this applies, and whether any exemption is available, depends on the program and the university, so we confirm it for your chosen program.
No-Objection Letter
Students from certain countries (such as Kuwait or other Gulf states) are required to submit an official "No-Objection" letter from their country's cultural attaché or embassy in Amman.
No matter which path you take, you will need to prepare a packet of official documents.
