​The University of Jordan (UJ) stands as a leading institution in the field of international academic exchange, actively fostering strategic global partnerships through programs such as Erasmus+. These initiatives aim to enhance students' academic and cultural competencies while also supporting the professional growth of faculty and administrative staff.

To date, UJ has signed over 100 academic exchange agreements, with 85 currently active under the Erasmus+ framework, in collaboration with universities from the following 25 countries:
Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey.

Since 2016, over 1,046 students have participated in Erasmus+ mobility in both directions, incoming and outgoing, along with more than 806 academic and administrative staff. These figures place the University as the top-performing Erasmus+ partner in the MENA region, not only in terms of mobility numbers but also in scope and sustainability. UJ is proudly recognized as a pioneer in the region, driving academic mobility, intercultural exchange, and international collaboration across disciplines.

The International Relations Department, at the International Affairs Unit, plays a central role in managing these programs. It provides full support throughout the mobility journey, including nomination, application guidance, visa support, and post-exchange follow-up.

UJ continues to expand its international footprint through flagship events like the Erasmus+ International Staff Week, which is hosted annually. The fifth edition, scheduled for May 2025, will welcome more than 65 participants from 23 European universities, representing 15 countries, an evidence to the strength and diversity of UJ's international partnerships.

Beyond the numbers, these exchange programs significantly contribute to the University of Jordan's internationalization strategy. They foster cross-cultural understanding; expose students and staff to diverse academic environments, and open doors to joint research initiatives, new academic disciplines, and innovative teaching methods. This growing global network enhances the university's visibility, competitiveness, and relevance in addressing global challenges through education and research.

These opportunities offer students a unique chance to gain international academic experience, broaden their global outlook, and acquire essential skills for their future careers.
