Admissions

Basic Requirements for Jordanian & International Students

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.

For Jordanian Students

Jordanian citizens studying inside the country primarily apply through the Regular (Competitive) Program or the Parallel Program.

Academic Thresholds (The Minimums)

To even apply to a specific major, your Tawjihi (or foreign equivalent) score must meet the national minimum threshold:

  • Medicine & Dentistry: Minimum 90%
  • Engineering & Pharmacy: Minimum 80%
  • Nursing & Allied Health Sciences: Minimum 70%
  • Arts, Business, Sciences, and Law: Minimum 65% (Law requires 65% at some universities)
The Application Streams

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.

For International (Non-Jordanian) Students

International students are highly welcomed and usually apply through the International Program.

Relaxed Grade Requirements

Jordan offers a major advantage to international applicants: Non-Jordanian students are allowed to be admitted with scores up to 15 marks/percentage points lower than the competitive cutoffs required for Jordanians, provided they still meet the absolute baseline minimums set by the Higher Education Council (e.g., you still need an absolute minimum of 80% to study Engineering, even if the Jordanian competitive cutoff was 93%).

Core Admission Criteria

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

If your chosen major is taught in English (like Medicine or Engineering), you will need to clear an English placement test or submit scores like TOEFL or IELTS. Students from English-speaking countries are exempt.

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.

Required Document Checklist

No matter which path you take, you will need to prepare a packet of official documents.

Required for Jordanians
  • Certified copy of Jordanian Tawjihi or foreign equivalency certificate
  • National ID Card & Birth Certificate
  • Military Service Book (Daftar Khidmah — for males)
  • Passport-sized photos (usually 3 to 6 copies)
Required for International Students
  • Certified High School Transcript (certified by home country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Embassy)
  • Valid Passport copy
  • No-Objection letter from your home country's cultural embassy (if applicable)
  • Proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) if non-native speaker
  • Proof of tuition payment and financial support
  • Medical insurance
