German Year

Welcome Note

GJU students spend a year in Germany as part of their Bachelor degree. During this year, they take “Technical Elective” courses for one semester at one of our German partner universities. After that, they train in German industry for 20 weeks. Upon the students' return to Jordan, they transfer their German courses to GJU credit hours and have their practical training approved. This page is intended to provide useful information for students about to start their year in Germany and those who are there now.

A list of German partner universities can be found in the "Partner Universities" page.
