The University of Jordan (UJ) on Sunday, March 19, entered into a memorandum of understanding with the University of Bradford (UoB), UK.
The MoU seeks to develop and strengthen the bonds between the two academic communities and in the process also contribute to generate understanding, cooperation and communication between the two cultures.
The MoU was signed by UJ President Prof. Azmi Mahafzah and UoB Vice-Chancellor Prof. Brian Cantor.
Under the MoU, UJ sponsored students applying to study at UoB will receive a 20% discount on tuition and bench fees.
Further, the two parts will endeavor to cooperate in the fields of student exchange, staff development and exchange and joint research programmes.
It is expected that this MoU will lead to a long term partnership between the two institutions and to expand into several other areas.
UoB is a public university located in the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The university received its Royal Charter in 1966, making it the 40th university to be created in Britain, however its origins date back to the early 19th century.
The University has a student population of about 11 thousand, 22% of whom are from outside the UK representing 131 countries.
