The German Jordanian University (GJU) is a public university founded by Royal Decree in 2005 on the model of German universities of applied sciences. Its main campus is in Mushaqar, Madaba governorate, near Amman, and its architecture school is in Jabal Amman. It offers about 40 bachelor's and master's programmes in engineering, computing, business, architecture, nursing and languages, mostly taught in English. Every bachelor's student learns German and spends a German Year: one study semester at one of 120+ partner universities in Germany, then an internship semester with a German company. GJU is TH Köln's partner in the IWRM MENA master's in integrated water resources management.
