Zarqa University (ZU)

Zarqa University (ZU) was founded in 1994 with just six colleges and 150 students enrolled in twenty majors. Since then, the university has grown exponentially, adding many more colleges, undergraduate programs, and graduate programs, attracting students from over 37 nationalities across the globe, creating a rich and unique blend of cultures. Today, ZU comprises 13 colleges, 3 deanships, 38 undergraduate programs, and 11 master’s programs, with more than 25,000 graduates.

Located in Zarqa, a relatively underprivileged region, the university aims to serve and empower the local community to thrive and improve living conditions. ZU promotes itself as an institution that prioritizes students above all else. To support underserved students, the university offers a robust program of scholarships and grants, which vary in size and requirements. The latest value of scholarships amounted to JD 2.5 million per term, approximately 3.2 million €, making the yearly total about 6.4 million €.

In recent years, ZU has seen several developments, including the establishment of a Business Incubator Unit, Zarqa Intermediate Technical College (ZITC), and the latest addition, a center for e-learning designed to meet the teaching and learning demands of the twenty-first century.
