Mobility Programmes
Exchange programmes for lecturers and employees that combine knowledge, experiences and cultures.
Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences is leading one of the most important foreign science policy projects in the Federal Republic of Germany: the establishment and development of the German Jordanian University (GJU) in Amman.
As part of the project, employees and lecturers have the opportunity to travel to Jordan through one of the two exchange programmes.
All Mobility Programmes promote the exchange of knowledge and experience between GJU and its German partners at various levels. They help to strengthen cooperation and generate new impulses for both sides.

Visiting Professors

The GJU Visiting Professors Programme allows German lecturers, preferably from German partner universities, to spend four months at the GJU to offer courses with a larger proportion of German and an extended range of topics or to carry out their own research project. The prolonged presence of German guest lecturers strengthens cooperation with German colleagues.
The application period for the 2027 Visiting Professors Programme has now closed.

Teaching assignments by the Flying Faculty promote the inclusion of the German language in various teaching formats locally in Jordan and thus make an important contribution to preparing students for the German Year.
The Flying Faculty Programme also includes courses from industry partners to increase the relevance of teaching in applied sciences and to promote cooperation between faculties and industry.

The Study Group Mobility programme is a key component in the run-up to the GJU students’ Year in Germany. The Study Group Mobilities for mixed German-Jordanian groups, with their practice-oriented year-long projects, have proved to be a successful model and an attractive proposition for German university partners. The research group consists of Jordanian and German students, who are supervised by lecturers from Germany and Jordan. The projects run throughout the year, culminating in a face-to-face exchange once a year. The German and Jordanian participants are supported with a trip to the GJU or the German partner university respectively.
You can find more information and tips in the download section.
Administrative Exchange

The GJU Project Office organises and finances a five-day delegation trip to the GJU by administrative staff from Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences and individual employees from partner universities. The aim of the trip is both to experience the GJU on site and to get to know the various areas of work that make a particular contribution to the German dimension. In addition, there are individual meetings with GJU employees who work in similar areas to the guests from Germany (e.g. IT, HR, university management, international office, etc.). In this way, people get direct contact with GJU employees and their work areas and a better understanding of the otherwise abstract partnership between their own university and GJU.
