Why AOU?
The Arab Open University is a unique university that offers a perfect mixture of all forms of education: open education, e-learning, education by correspondence, and traditional classroom lectures that are astutely combined and intertwined with the highest levels of academic excellence. The following factors attest to the University’s distinction:
- The Arab Open University offers high caliber programs of study that have been carefully selected and designed to meet the needs of the local markets and the local communities and to provide graduates with the professional qualifications and knowledge they may need for their present or future careers.
- The medium of instruction is English. This, of course, provides an opportunity for students to improve their English language skills and to find better job opportunities upon graduation.
- The innovative methodology of instruction adopted by the University paves the way for optimum and positive interaction between the student and tools of modern educational technologies.
- The agreement reached between the Arab Open University (AOU) and the Open University - UK under which AOU obtained a license to teach some of the courses offered by OU-UK. This agreement will provide the student with the chance to obtain a joint certificate from both universities, which, of course, contributes to the University’s acclaimed international standing and reputation.
- The type of education delivery system adopted by the University helps students to adapt smoothly to their study plans in keeping with their capabilities and regardless of work commitments, geographical distance, or inadequate prior learning experiences which may feature as obstacles denying them access to traditional, full-time contact education. If anything, this system of education guarantees the widest possible student access to the University.
- The outstanding results attained by students in the Achievement Exam which is administered by the Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in respect of graduating students from the various universities operating in the Kingdom, both private and public, attest to the high standard and outstanding qualification that the AOU offers its students.
