How to Apply to Study in Jordan

Step 1 — Choose the programme, not the country

Decide the field and the level first, then find programmes that match, then check each programme's accreditation status. Applying to an institution because of its name, and only then discovering the programme is not the one you needed, is the most common avoidable error.

Step 2 — Confirm the institution is officially recognised

Check the institution against the 高等教育省's published lists. For regulated professions, check the programme-level status with the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission.

Step 3 — Have your prior qualification assessed

Foreign qualifications are assessed for recognition and equivalency by the Recognition & Certificates Equivalency Directorate. This is a state process and separate from admission. Start it early: it can be the slowest part of the route.

Step 4 — Apply directly to the institution

International applicants apply through the institution's own international admission route, not through the national Unified Admission system. The Study in Jordan portal is the national information gateway and the place to start the search.

Step 5 — Accept, then handle entry

After the admission decision, arrange the entry documentation you need for travel, and confirm with the institution what it provides — some issue supporting letters, some do not.

Step 6 — Enrol and obtain residency

Residency for students is normally arranged after enrolment, with institutional support, rather than before travel. Confirm the exact route with the institution and the Ministry of Interior, and keep your documents current.

A note on agents

Some applicants use recruitment agents. If you do, ask who pays them and whether they represent specific institutions only. An agent paid by an institution has an interest in which institution you choose. This portal is not an agent and receives no payment from any institution.
