On the seventeenth of January 2005, a Royal Decree was issued to establish Tafila Technical University as a public university which currently contributes to the development of higher education in Jordan.
Since then, the university has sought to realize the objectives for which it was established. On top of these objectives are the reinforcement of spiritual and moral values​​, nationa...l pride, Arab Islamic identity, and the development of students’ talents, with emphasis on the qualities of leadership and citizenship. The ways to realize these objectives include offering higher education opportunities, disseminating knowledge about the constructive role of the Arab-Islamic civilization in the progress of human civilizations, and meeting the communal need for specialists in the fields of science and technology, and arts. Having a qualified generation would help our country encounter contemporary and future challenges in various fields of life. In addition, the university encourages scientific research, sets findings into practice and uses modern technologies for the overall development of Jordan.
Tafila Technical University has seven colleges: Engineering, Science, Business, Education, Arts, Student Affairs and scientific research and graduate studies. The number of university students at the beginning of 2016 has reached approximately six thousand students spread over different programs: Bachelor program, two-year intermediate diploma program, higher diploma program and master program. The number of faculty members has recently reached (237), whereas the number of the administrative staff amounted to (631).
The university has taken quick confident steps towards the consolidation and assimilation of e-learning, online registration and information technology among students and faculty members. In addition, computer courses are regularly held for staff members to develop their computer skills; the Computer Center has an integrated infrastructure, several computer laboratories and technical competencies in the fields of computer and information technologies. The university as well has forged strategic partnerships with such international organizations as Microsoft, Cisco and the Center for International Computer Driving License.
Today, both students and employees realize that lectures in all academic departments start since the first day of the semester. As I demonstrate an equal interest in scientific research and scholarships, all faculty members should immediately submit their research proposals.
Another merit of TTU is the small number of its enrolled students. The total number of the enrolled students which is similar to many reputed American universities of such as Harvard and Princeton. This makes it feasible to communicate with students, provide them with educational and recreational activities, supervise their extracurricular activities, train them in the fields of their specializations, and enhance communication between students and their professors. Being the university president, I encourage students as well as their teachers to engage in constant conversations and dialogues.
An additional merit of TTU is that students whose grade point average (GPA) in the General Secondary Certificate is below the minimum average for admission in other public universities can apply for diploma programs. If students get the minimum GPA for admission in Shamel or the comprehensive exam, they can transfer to bachelor programs.
