Global Education – Study Abroad

Partnerships between PSUT and universities in the USA

PSUT runs several of joint programs based on a number of agreements which have been signed with some of the world’s most prestigious universities in alignment with the University’s objectives of raising academic and technological standards while furthering the country’s development programs.

These programs and partnerships enable students to:

Study in one of the agreed programs and obtain degree certificates from both universities; whether two bachelor degrees (dual-degrees), or a PSUT bachelor's degree with an international master's degree (joint-program).
Obtain discounts/scholarships from those universities and complete their studies in an accelerated time.

Important Guidelines:

Students should begin their application process at least one year before their planned travel date.
Classes need to be mapped out at least 3 semesters before travel.
Plan to start your first semester abroad to be in Fall (the first semester of the academic year).
Should any questions arise during the application process, please contact the assigned contact people at PSUT by visiting the Admissions and Registration Building.

It is the student’s responsibility to carefully read and follow the officially announced rules and guidelines for the Study Abroad programs.
It is the student's responsibility to apply on the partner university websites; PSUT’s role is merely to guide and support its students during the process when needed.
While abroad, PSUT limits its liability towards its students to academic matters, and only while they remain current PSUT students.

Fees & Scholarships

Students pay the regular PSUT tuition fees during their time spent studying on PSUT campus.

Once accepted as a Study Abroad student, PSUT students receive a discount (partial scholarship) by paying in-state tuition (resident fees) at most of our partner institutions abroad. This discount is equivalent to about (33-45%) of international student tuition fees which would be normally paid. The tuition fees are paid at the American university during the student's study time abroad.

The student is responsible for all other expenses such as accommodation, travel, obtaining a visa from the US Embassy, and health insurance.

A deposit of JOD 1000 must be made at PSUT by the student prior to traveling. This payment is due upon submission of the application and will cover student seat reservation fees every semester while being abroad, as per the regulations of the Ministry of Higher Education.

This amount is used as follows:-

In the event the student is accepted, all semester registration fees are deducted from the JOD 1000 to the sum of JOD 300 for each semester spent abroad (JOD 150 for summer semester), according to the rules and regulations in force at that time. The remainder, if any, is credited to the student’s account
The full amount will be refunded to the student if he/she is not accepted by the American university.
A sum of JOD 500 will be deducted if the student is accepted but does not join the program for any reason.

PSUT does not charge any extra fees in exchange for the services of admissions and registration, follow-up, course equivalency or keeping student records updated.
