Regular AdmissionThere are mainly three conditions that MUST be met to admit students at the computer science program:
Parallel AdmissionThe parallel admission applies the same conditions as the regular one, except that students are directly admitted by YU; not UAU. Students who have not succeeded in the UAU competition are, usually, apply to parallel admission. They MUST meet all the three conditions of regular admission in order to apply for the parallel one. The applications from international students (who have Jordan Nationality) are evaluated at the registrar office according to the available seats. Available seats are specified according to the student-faculty ratio at the department of computer science. Students compete according to their GPAs on the available seats. The only difference between parallel and regular admissions is the registration fees.
International AdmissionThe international admission applies to non-Jordanian students; who do not hold Jordanian nationality. The admitted students MUST hold an equivalent high school (Tawjihi) certificates in scientific track that are accredited and approved by Jordanian Ministry of Education (MOE). Furthermore, the high school GPA MUST be 65% or above. The applications from international students are evaluated at the registrar office according to the available seats. Available seats are specified according to the student-faculty ratio at the department of computer science. Students compete according to their GPAs on the available seats. |
