3 reasons to study a healthcare degree in Jordan

Jordan is home to some of the best healthcare universities in the Arab region. The latest QS Arab Region University Rankings 2022 features 20 Jordanian universities. The best performing of these is the University of Jordan, which ranks 10th in the Arab region. 

The school boasts excellent facilities for its healthcare students, even having its own university hospital – the first academic teaching hospital in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. One of the aims of the hospital, alongside the advancement of scientific and medical research and the provision of general and specialised medical care, is the training of students studying healthcare degrees at the university. Inside the university hospital, there are quiet rooms and libraries to help students study. 

“Healthcare students receive their training in the university’s hospital. They have full access to patients, clinics, and can receive all the information they need from employees in the hospital,” said Yara.  

Every student at the university also receives free health insurance and they can be treated by all doctors who work in the hospital for free as long as they have their student ID card. 

The University of Jordan has achieved several National and International Certificates of Excellence and Quality, which reflect the high quality of its healthcare degrees. These certificates include: the ISO Certificate, HACCP Certificate, HCAC National Quality and Safety Goals, Joint Commission International (JCI) and the King Abdullah II Award for Excellence in Government Performance and Transparency.  

“I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to study at a university that offers all the facilities needed for its student to broaden their knowledge and experience to the biggest extent possible,” said Yara. 

Jordan has lots of attractions, drawing in tourists from all around the world, particularly to its capital city. Amman boasts spectacular Roman ruins such as the Citadel, Temple of Hercules and the Roman theatre, as well as plenty of museums, restaurants and malls. 

 “I consider Jordan the very perfect place to accommodate students’ lives and needs. Students have everything they might require, from restaurants, to libraries which offer the best resources for their courses and their materials, to dorms which are either inside campus or within walking distance – plus the fact that Jordan is considered a safe country,” said Yara. 

In addition to all of this, you are getting access to some of the world’s best educational institutions. Amman in considered to be an academic hotspot, with various services and facilities available for students to use. 

“Being a graduate of the University of Jordan gives me a sense of pride, and also highlights my CV,” said Fareza Alasbahi, who graduated from the University of Jordan’s School of Rehabilitation Sciences in 2021. 

“The university is one of the best and most highly accredited institutions, and the lecturers use evidence-based, up-to-date practices to teach students. For these reasons my degree has presented me with great opportunities and job offers,” she added. 

The University of Jordan’s academic staff are very skilled in what they do and have occupied high positions both locally and internationally. They integrate this practical experience into their teaching. 

“Having the chance to study a prestigious specialty in a prestigious educational edifice and being able to learn from the best professors in the country and benefit from their experiences doesn’t require a second thought,” said Yara.
