Beyond our classrooms and laboratories, the Faculty is honored to host the Jordan Natural History Museum, which documents the rich biodiversity of Jordan — including its plants, animals, minerals, and fossils that narrate the story of Earth. These valuable resources support scientific research and serve as a bridge between science and society.
The Faculty maintains strong collaborations with numerous national and international institutions, such as the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center, the National Center for Agricultural Research, King Hussein Cancer Center, Royal Medical Services, and the Royal Scientific Society. Internationally, we partner with European universities such as University of León in Spain and University of Twente in the Netherlands.
As for our students, we take pride in their involvement in research projects in collaboration with national and international institutions and universities. We continue to encourage their participation in local and global scientific competitions and activities, such as the NASA International Space Apps Challenge and the annual Imperial Barrel Award competition organized by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists – Middle East Region.
 
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, the Faculty of Science remains steadfast in its commitment to academic excellence, innovation in scientific research, and societal impact. We continue to develop new programs, strengthen partnerships, and expand research opportunities to prepare our students for leadership roles across academic, industrial, commercial, financial, and other sectors.
We pledge that the Faculty of Science will continue to push the boundaries of knowledge, solve real-world challenges, and make meaningful contributions to our beloved community.
