Princess Sumaya University College for Technology ( PSUCT ) was established in September 1991, in accordance with the Private Universities Law, and the authorization of the Higher Education Council. In 1994, PSUCT obtained the special accreditation for its program in computer science, a step necessary for all private universities for certificate recognition purposes.

• Computer Science;
• Electronics Engineering.

PSUCT is highly selective regarding the quality and number of students it accepts for admission. The annual admission of students stands, now, at (125) and (80) students in Computer Science and Electronics Engineering respectively.

PSUCT is located at the RSS campus, which occupies an area of about 342000 square metres, in an attractive district north-west of Amman, about 11 km away from the city center.

PSUCT has a three-storey building, housing the offices of the college’s dean, the Computer Department and the Sciences and Humanities Department. In addition to many lecture halls. A new building of 3000 square metres houses the Electronics Engineering Department. The college has recently embarked on a new building project that would provide a separate complex for the college.

The college is equipped with all the facilities needed by college students, such as playgrounds, an activities building, a cafeteria, a bookshop, public telephones, a post office, a clinic, and a mosque. There is also a library, which contains more than 40,000 reference books, and many specialized periodicals.

Lab work plays an important role in both the Computer Science and Electronics Engineering programs. Hence, the college has (30) modern laboratories distributed as follows:

1. Computer Science Laboratories:

1. Computer Lab (1)
2. Computer Lab (2)
3. Computer Lab (3)
4. Computer Lab (4)
5. Computer Digital Logic Lab.

3. Electronics Laboratories:

1. Electric Circuits Lab (1)
2. Electric Circuits Lab (2)
3. Digital Logic Lab
4. Computer Organization Lab
5. Electronics Lab (1)
6. Electronics Lab (2)
7. Microprocessor Lab
8. Microprocessor Interfacing Lab
9. Instrumentation & Measurement Lab (1)
10. Instrumentation & Measurement Lab (2)
11. Electronics Circuits Lab (1)
12. Electronics Circuits Lab (2)
13. Audio/video Lab (1)
14. Audio/Video Lab (2)
15. Communications Lab (1)
16. Communications Lab (2)
17. Television Lab
18. Industrial Instruments Lab
19. Signal Processing Lab
20. Electrical Power Lab
21. Automatic Control Lab
22. Biomeasurement & Instrumentation Lab
23. Electrical Machines Lab

PSUCT applies the credit hours system, and expects the student to regularly attend the lectures. The student will be eligible for a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science after satisfactorily completing (132) credit hours with an accumulative average of not less than 60%. The average student requires 4 years to complete the required courses. This period can be shorter depending on the student’s performance and ability for hard work.

 In Electronics Engineering, a B.Sc. is granted on the satisfactory completion of (170) credit hours ( in addition to an 8-week training), and also with an accumulative average of not less than 60%. Thus, the student usually needs five years to complete the courses.

The college academic staff currently consists of 44 members, 34 of which are Ph.D. holders, and 10 of which are M.Sc. holders. In accordance with the Private Universities Law, PSUCT has a board of trustees which sets the general polices, rules, and regulations of the college. The board is chaired by Her Royal Highness Princess Sumaya Bint El-Hassan. There is also a College Council and a council for each department.

PSUCT has signed cooperation agreements in the fields of training and the exchange of educational expertise with a number of universities and educational institutions. A number of the Computer Science students will be sent annually for one academic year at the University of Illinois as of the academic year 1996/1997, and a number of Electronics Engineering students will be sent for training abroad within the framework of the programs of the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE), and the Arab Universities Union.

The fee for each credit hour is 50 JD in Computer Science, and 60 JD in Electronics Engineering. The minimum number of credit hours per semester for Fall and Spring semesters is (12), and the maximum is (18). However, if the student’s accumulative average in the preceding term exceeds 80%, the upper limit can be raised subject to the approval of the college’s dean. The Summer term is optional, and the maximum load is (9) credit hours.

Applicants for admission should have the Jordanian GSE certificate – scientific stream, or equivalent certificates, with a minimum average of 60% for Computer Science, and 80% for Electronics Engineering. Since the number of applications by far exceeds the available seats each year, a selection of accepted students is made on a merit basis.

1. Birth certificate.
2. Copy of the passport or family card.
3. Three recent personal photos.
4. Copy of Military Service Card (for males).
5. Copy of the Exit and Return Permission for residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip – if possible.
