Aiming at establishing a framework for student exchange between the two universities during the academic year 2019-2020, Yarmouk University has signed a scientific cooperation agreement with the University of Nantes. According to the agreement, Nantes will receive two students of French language from Yarmouk University for one semester, beginning in September 2019. The French embassy will pay the university fees for candidates, and two courses will be credited for the students. In return, Yarmouk University should host two Master students from Nantes and provide them with the opportunity to train students of the Department of Modern Languages. The agreement also includes items for the exchange of professors and researchers between the two sides and participation in conferences and seminars held by both universities.
