Jordan is located in the heart of the Middle East bordering Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia. It acts as a safety buffer by providing much needed stability for the entire region and hence, has long been the preferred choice for Westerners and expatriates to settle in to pursue their interests.
A range of international agencies, NGOs and developmental programs are based in Amman to facilitate their activities in the Middle East. For example, UNICEF, UNRWA, Red Cross, UNDP and USAID, all have bases here that provide humanitarian and economic support to the entire region. There are several opportunities for students, especially aspiring diplomats and international relations students, to work or to volunteer at these international agencies while studying with us.
