Aqaba University of Technology

The Aqaba University of Technology is the first private university established in southern Jordan, and it has an ambitious vision to be distinguished, attractive, and the preferred choice for students from Jordan and the region. The university is located just fifteen kilometers south of the city of Aqaba on the hills overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba and on a piece of land extending over 500 acres. The University admitted the first batch of students in the first semester of the academic year 2015/2016 at two faculties: the Faculty of Administrative and Financial Sciences and the Faculty of Information Technology. The university developed a number of disciplines in the academic year of 2016/2017, including pharmacy, civil engineering, and architecture, and is planning to come up in the near future with other disciplines, including medicine, interior design, and graphic design.
