Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) is a comprehensive, state-supported university located on the outskirts of Irbid, in northern Jordan, 70km north of Amman, Jordan's capital city. JUST was established in 1986 as an autonomous national institute of higher education with the primary objective of producing outstanding professionals in specializations that match Jordan and the region's needs.
Since its establishment, JUST has been at the forefront of higher learning in the Arab World. It also maintains a high reputation among the Middle Eastern universities due to its faculty and administrative staff, multi-disciplinary educational system, and students' broad diversity. The university was described as the best scientific institution in the Kingdom by King Abdullah II during his last visit. It was ranked as the top research university in the country, and amongst the top 50 universities in the Islamic World, according to a study carried out by the Statistical, Economic and Social Research and Training Center for Islamic Countries (SESRIC).
JUST is considered today as one of the region's leading universities in teaching and research. The number of students has increased significantly since the university's establishment. Today has more than 800 full-time faculty members, with 20,000 undergraduate and 1800 graduate students, in contrast to 2,300 students in the 1986/1987 academic year. JUST comprises more than 5,000 international students of 60 nationalities, rendering it the most cultural-diverse university in Jordan.
