Focus on boosting foreign medical specialty acceptance
The Jordanian Ministry of Education intends to increase the number of students accepted into the Medicine and Dentistry programs at Jordanian universities for the 2026-2027 academic year, based on both the regular and parallel programs in public and private universities. The number of admitted students in Medicine will be raised to 840 from 640, and in Dentistry to 400 from 320, with an increase of 20 seats for each specialization in private universities. This decision aims to reduce the number of students studying abroad, maintain the academic quality of graduates, and increase financial resources by encouraging studying within the country. It also includes raising the minimum admission score for studying in medical specialties abroad, based on standards approved by the Accreditation Board to ensure quality. The move is part of efforts to enhance university capabilities and achieve a balance between student numbers and the labor market.
