Universities by major
Computing, cybersecurity and data science in Jordan, including the specialised technology institutions.
In short
15 institutions in this directory publish faculty provision in this field. This is a list of representation, not a ranking. For regulated professions the decisive factors are the accreditation status of the specific programme, the quality and availability of clinical or laboratory training, and whether the qualification is recognised by the licensing authority in the country where you intend to work.
No institution is described here as universally "the best". Each list states the criteria behind it, and the right choice depends on the student's objective. Criteria applied:
الجامعة الأردنية
Frequently the first name raised for applicants weighing breadth of programme choice, research volume and the availability of a very wide postgraduate portfolio. Its size is also its trade-o…
جامعة العلوم والتكنولوجيا الأردنية

الجامعة الألمانية الأردنية
Strongest fit for applicants who want engineering or IT with genuine German-language and German industry exposure, and who value a mandatory practical placement. The German requirement is a …
جامعة مؤتة
The natural public-university option for students based in or willing to relocate to southern Jordan, and one of the more affordable settings in the country. Karak is small and quiet — a goo…

جامعة الأميرة سمية للتكنولوجيا
The most focused national answer for a student who has already decided on computing or technology and wants a small, ICT-specialist environment with strong industry links rather than a large…
جامعة الحسين التقنية
A newer, employment-outcome-driven model aimed at students who want a technical degree tightly connected to hiring. Best evaluated on graduate employment evidence and placement links rather …
جامعة العلوم الإسلامية العالمية
The clearest national destination for Classical-Arabic-adjacent and Islamic-studies degree work in an Arabic-medium environment. Non-native applicants should plan for language preparation be…
الجامعة العربية المفتوحة
The main structured option for students who need a flexible, blended or distance route alongside work or family commitments. Because delivery mode affects recognition in some countries, veri…
كلية لومينوس الجامعية التقنية
A useful option for students seeking employment-oriented technical education rather than a traditional academic university pathway. Its breadth makes it especially relevant to applied techno…
الكلية الجامعية الوطنية للتكنولوجيا
A newer technical college focused on practical technology education and employability. It is relevant to applicants who want a shorter, applied route into technical fields.…
الأكاديمية الملكية لفنون الطهي

كلية طلال أبوغزاله الجامعية للابتكار
A niche option for applicants who want business and information technology framed around innovation and entrepreneurship rather than a traditional broad university structure.…
For this field, confirming programme accreditation is not optional. Check the programme's status with the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission, confirm the clinical or laboratory training arrangements with the department, and — if you intend to practise outside Jordan — check the destination regulator's requirements. None of this is recoverable after graduation.
Priority order: official Jordanian government authorities → official institution websites → accreditation organisations → official ranking organisations → Visit Jordan → other reliable sources. Claims that could not be verified from these are marked as unverified rather than presented as fact.
