In line with the executive program plan for the Economic
Development Vision launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Council,
chaired by Dr. Nader Obeidat, has developed a plan to incorporate the
vocational aspect into the curricula, serving as a roadmap for the transition
towards a more harmonized vocational education in line with the requirements of
the labor market.
This will be achieved through studying the market needs and
aligning them with the outcomes of the educational process.
Additionally, the Council has decided to hold preparatory
programs in data science and information technology for graduates of
mathematics and physics.
Smart agriculture, artificial intelligence, and data science
In addition to updating the existing curricula, the plan,
which will be implemented in the upcoming academic year, includes the
introduction of diploma programs in smart agriculture, artificial intelligence,
and data science.
It also involves the establishment of several professional
specializations related to future professions.
New programs to be added
The university intends to launch an advanced diploma in
respiratory care, as well as two master's programs in women's health and health
policies, which have been approved after conducting several market studies and
consultations with the private sector.
The university is also working on incorporating professional
programs into the current curricula for fourth-year students in partnership
with the public and private sectors, and involving experienced individuals from
the local community.
Parallel to these efforts, the university seeks to organize
non-curricular courses and activities aimed at refining students' personalities
and equipping them with the necessary skills to enhance their competitiveness
in the job market.
Additionally, it plans to offer several joint university
courses through the University Requirements Office on entrepreneurship and
innovation, as well as establishing and managing small projects.
