Q: I have an expired IELTS/TOEFL; is that acceptable?
A: No, unfortunately, you will have to re-take the exam to have a current certificate at the time of application.
Q: I am already done, or almost done with my undergraduate program, can I go for a master's degree directly?
A: Yes, you can, the process is the same. But you might need a little more than one year for the master's degree.
Q: I hold a US citizenship/passport, how does that affect my application?
A: 1. You will not be required to go through the F1 visa steps with the American Embassy.
2. You may not need to submit financial documentation (this rule differs among universities).
3. You will still need to meet the English proficiency requirement if your pre-university degree is from outside the United States.
4. With regard to the tuition scholarship, most universities will still offer you in-state tuition since the agreement covers PSUT students regardless of their nationality. But this rule differs among some of our partners.
Q: What about the course "Military Sciences" (علوم عسكرية)? Do I still have to take it?
A: The Ministry of Higher Education mandates that any student with Jordanian nationality must take this class to qualify for a Bachelor's Degree.
The same goes for (تربية وطنية), and for your Community Service hours at PSUT.
You must conclude all 3 at PSUT before traveling abroad.
Q: When will I receive my I20/SEVIS number so I can apply at the American Embassy for a student/F1 visa appointment?
A: I20 forms for the fall semester usually start being issued Mid January.
Q: Do I have pay PSUT anything for its services?
A: PSUT is glad to offer such special opportunities to its special students free of charge. The only fee that you need to pay PSUT before you leave the country is the semester fees for each semester you plan to spend abroad until you graduate with your Bachelor's degree. This fee is mandatory by the Ministry of Higher Education since you are counted for a seat at PSUT campus. Semester fees currently are JOD 300 and JOD 150 for Summer Semesters (if applicable).
Q: What about my Graduation Project? Can I take it abroad?
A: Yes, you can take the CAPSTONE project abroad which will count as equivalent to the graduation project.
Q: What about my Practical Training?
A: You have the following choices:
- Either you do your practical training in Jordan before you travel.
- Or you enroll in "Internship" class abroad.
- But you if choose the "Research Assistantship" to be your practical training equivalency, you must leave out one-summer semester abroad (without registering in any classes there).
Q: What about my Community Service hours at PSUT?
A: You must finish them all at PSUT before you leave.
