The President of Yarmouk University, Professor Islam Massad, met with the Vice President of the Turkish University of Pamukkale, Dr. Durmuş Akalın, to discuss ways of academic and research cooperation concerning exchanging students and faculty members between the two universities within the framework of the European Erasmus Plus Program.
During the meeting, Massad confirmed that Yarmouk University seeks to enhance its scientific, academic, and research cooperation with various Turkish universities, noting that during the Jordanian-Turkish Higher Education Forum held recently, it was agreed to increase the rate of student and faculty exchange between Jordanian and Turkish universities. He then pointed out that signing an agreement with the Turkish University of Pamukkale will provide the opportunity for Yarmouk students from different majors to visit Pamukkale University, which will reflect positively on their knowledge and experience on the one hand, and expand their awareness and enhance their knowledge, on the other hand.
In return, Akalin praised the distinguished reputation of Yarmouk University and the diversity and comprehensiveness it enjoys by offering medical, scientific, and humanitarian specializations, which makes it an attractive environment for students from different countries, stressing that signing an agreement with Yarmouk contextualizes cooperation between the two sides in the field of student exchange in various specializations. He then reviewed the establishment of the Turkish University of Pamukkale, which was founded in 1992 offering various specializations in various fields for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
Eventually, a cooperation agreement was signed, considering that the agreement stipulates student exchange between the Turkish universities of Pamukkale and Yarmouk in various engineering specializations, medicine, nursing, literature, political science, English language, chemistry, life sciences, physics, Islamic studies, law, and the specializations of the Faculty of Business.
