What كلية الامير حسين للدراسات الدولية does

Prince Al Hussein Bin Abdullah II School of Political Science and International Studies (كلية الامير حسين للدراسات الدولية) is an academic school operating within The University of Jordan, a public state university headquartered on the University of Jordan campus in Amman, Jordan. Formally constituted in 2008 as the School of International Studies and renamed to its current designation in 2023, the school hosts three departments — Political Science, International Relations and Diplomatic and Regional Studies, and International Development — and serves approximately 3,422 students across undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and diploma tracks. The school is led by a Dean and supported by 14 listed staff (13 faculty members plus a department secretary), and reports through the University of Jordan's governance structure rather than as an independent legal entity.

The school's product portfolio spans a BA in Political Science (traced to 1965, among the oldest Arabic-language political science programs), MA programs in Political Science, American Studies, Conflict Resolution, Diplomatic Studies, Human Rights and Human Development, Sustainable Development, and Electoral Policies and Administration, a PhD in Political Science, and a High Diploma in Election Management delivered jointly with the Independent Election Commission. Delivery relies on standard university infrastructure: technology-equipped classrooms, computer centers, reading rooms, conference auditoriums, and the University of Jordan's e-learning platform. The school maintains a documented network of 18+ international partners including Carnegie Endowment, Chatham House, LSE, Fletcher School, Brookings, Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, and the University of Groningen, among others.

The school does not operate as a commercial entity. Its revenue, while not publicly disclosed, is structurally tied to tuition and fees set within The University of Jordan's regulated fee structure and to government appropriation of the parent university. Its GTM motion is direct-to-student via the University of Jordan's admissions process, with recruitment supported through the university website, departmental information sessions, conferences, and partner-driven exchanges. Recognition includes the 2018 Jean Monnet: Network on EU-Middle East Relations grant from the European Union — the first awarded in Jordan and second in the Middle East.
