2. To maintain close working relationships with her partner universities;
3. To administratively manage the exchange year of all students;
4. To administratively manage the attendance of summer school programs in Germany attended by GJU students;

Vision

The GJU community relies on the unique international expertise of the International Office to provide it with information and access to the network of German universities.
The creation and transmission of new knowledge is a global enterprise taking place under internationally diverse conditions. GJU’s global presence makes this institution’s accomplishments in the creation of new knowledge available to communities reaching beyond national, linguistic, and cultural boundaries. GJU becomes globalized by excelling in the production and transmission of new knowledge and giving it a strong German impact.
Success in internationalizing requires the deep and diverse expertise provided by the International Office as the institutional anchor for enhancing and disseminating knowledge about the regions, cultures, languages, and significant issues of Germany. The International Office adds crucial value to GJU’s aspirations as a Jordanian-German academic institution committed to responsible international engagement. The International Office web portal will provide a unified information platform through which students, faculty, and staff of GJU and its partners can know about and take advantage of international opportunities in learning, training and research in Amman, in Germany and around the globe.

The International Office will be glad to assist you and provide information to make your stay at the GJU or abroad as pleasant as possible
