The decrease in student enrollment in science faculties in Palestine and Jordan, coupled with the lack of
work options for graduates, has resulted in a high rate of unemployment for these graduates. This is a
result of science graduates receiving a foundational education in the sciences without the requisite
professional training or practical experience.
The current Science Bachelor Degree is accredited according to the CREDIT HOUR system in which
students must pass 120 Credit Hours at least which takes 4 years duration until graduation. Therefore,
the adoption of the bologna system partially on the faculties of sciences will reduce the period of
graduation to get a bachelor's degree in basic solid sciences in the field, allowing the students to get
one additional professional year after graduation, with professional orientation in their field of sciences to
be more attractive to the labor market, locally or internationally.
The project aims to reform and enhance the higher education system in Jordan and Palestine by
implementing an education system based on the Bologna Process. This initiative is driven by the need
to modernize and standardize the higher education system to align with international standards and best
practices. By adopting the Bologna Process, the project seeks to promote academic mobility, facilitate
recognition of qualifications, and enhance the quality and competitiveness of higher education in the
region. This reform is crucial for meeting the evolving demands of the labor market, promoting
innovation in science education, and ensuring the overall development and sustainability of the higher
education sector in Jordan and Palestine.
Project Activities Include
Elevate the standard of science education in Palestine and Jordan by implementing Bologna Process principles to ensure a globally competitive curriculum and academic environment.
Increase student participation and interest in science
programs across Palestine and Jordan, fostering a dynamic learning environment that aligns
with international standards
.
Improve the job prospects and skills of science
graduates in Palestine and Jordan, aligning their qualifications with market needs and industry
expectations for increased employability.
Foster cross-institutional collaboration and student mobility between higher education institutions in Palestine and Jordan and the EU higher education system, creating a network that promotes knowledge exchange and a harmonized learning experience.
