16 MW Solar PV System —
100% Renewable Campus Electricity
From a 16 MW solar array to research stations spanning over 3 km² of agricultural land, the University of Jordan embeds sustainability into every dimension of campus life.
Flagship Initiative · Renewable Energy
The renewable energy programme extends to UJ's Aqaba branch, where solar installations span rooftops, car parks, and open ground — including a ground-mounted system at the Marine Science Station on the Red Sea coast. The branch demonstrates multiple PV integration methods: Building-Integrated PV (BIPV) on facades, shaded car park canopy structures, and ground-mounted arrays — each adapted to the site's conditions and purpose.
What This Means · In Plain Terms
A three-tiered approach — energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable integration — is being applied across all 125 campus buildings to reduce operational carbon and improve performance.

Athletic Facilities ›A dedicated fleet of campus buses connects students across faculties, sports facilities, and student housing — ensuring reliable, scheduled access to every corner of the university.
To facilitate students' access to their classrooms, the University of Jordan operates a dedicated fleet of buses, each accommodating 22 passengers across two routes that serve the full breadth of the campus.
The University of Jordan's student body is one of its most active forces — shaping campus governance, championing causes, and building communities through elections, clubs, and civic life.
Every academic year, the University of Jordan holds student union elections — one of the most visible expressions of civic engagement on campus. Students campaign across faculties, posting election materials and mobilising peers, before the entire student body heads to the ballot boxes to elect their representatives.
The elected Student Union serves as the primary representative body, advocating for student rights, organising cultural events, liaising with faculty and administration, and fostering a sense of belonging and democratic ownership of university life.
The elections are open, transparent, and keenly contested — reflecting the university’s commitment to nurturing responsible, civically engaged graduates.
These are among the most prominent student clubs at UJ — but they represent only a fraction of the vibrant associational life on campus. Dozens of clubs and societies span disciplines from arts and technology to sport, volunteering, and sustainability, giving every student a place to belong and a cause to champion.
