What Is Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST)?

Updated

JUST (Jordan University of Science and Technology) is a Jordanian university whose official website is just.edu.jo. The site presents it as a broad, multi-faculty institution covering engineering, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, agriculture, veterinary medicine, science and arts, computer and information technology, applied medical sciences, and architecture and design, with graduate studies and several specialized research centers alongside them. Use the official site to confirm current program details, admission requirements, fees, and dates, since those change by cycle and the site is the authoritative source.

Academic Profile at a Glance

The site's own navigation gives the clearest picture of what JUST offers:

  • Undergraduate faculties: Engineering; Medicine; Dentistry; Pharmacy; Nursing; Agriculture; Veterinary Medicine; Science and Arts; Computer and Information Technology; Applied Medical Sciences; Architecture and Design.
  • Graduate level: Graduate Studies, plus a Nanotechnology Institute.

The site also lists institutional information such as vision, mission and values, a strategic plan, quality policy, university ranking, facts and highlights, organizational structure, regulations, and governance units. If you need to judge the university's standing or structure, those pages are the place to start rather than third-party summaries.

New and Featured Programs

The homepage highlights newer offerings, including:

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Technology — described as preparing students for unmanned aerial systems, intelligent flight, aerial imaging, inspection, mapping, maintenance, and safe drone operations.
  • Digital Agriculture — described as combining information and communication technologies with farming practices to improve productivity, efficiency, profitability, and sustainability.

These are presented as featured programs; check the program page for curriculum and admission details before applying.

Finding Admissions Information

Admission is split into two paths on the site:

Path Where to look What you'll find
Undergraduate Admission → Undergraduate Programs; Apply To JUST Program listings and the application entry point
Graduate Admission → Graduate Admission; Requirements; Programs; Fees; Apply To JUST Requirements, program list, fees, and application

The site also carries announcements about completing admission procedures for competitive, parallel, and staff-dependent categories, including minimum admission GPA. Because these announcements are tied to specific admission rounds, read the current notice rather than relying on an older one.

Student Services and Academic Resources

Once admitted, the site groups practical resources under Students:

  • eLearning and Registration
  • Students' Services, Office 365 Email, Course Schedule, Exams Schedule, and Academic Calendar
  • Student Activities
  • Wellness Clinics: Youth Health Clinic, Smoking Cessation Clinic, and Nutritional Consulting Clinic

The Academic Calendar is the single most useful page for planning a semester, since it sets the dates that course and exam schedules hang off. The Centennial Library section provides a Discovery Service (EDS) and an A-Z list of e-resources for research.

Verifying Details Before You Act

Treat just.edu.jo as the reference point for anything time-sensitive: application deadlines, fee amounts, minimum GPAs, and program availability. The site does not publish pricing on the pages summarized here, so don't assume a program is free or that login is unnecessary—confirm fees and access requirements on the relevant admission or program page. For prospective students, the efficient route is: pick your level (undergraduate or graduate) → open the program list → read the requirements and fees → check the current admission announcement → then apply.
