Under the patronage of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr Yacoub Nasereddin, and in the presence of the President of the University, Professor Salam Al-Mahadin, Middle East University held a recognition ceremony to honour academic and administrative staff members for their contributions to securing prestigious international accreditations. The university achieved the American AACSB accreditation for the Faculty of Business, a distinction held by fewer than 6% of business institutions worldwide, alongside the German FIBAA accreditation for the Faculty of Engineering and Design, a premier international benchmark that enhances the competitiveness of MEU graduates across local, regional, and global labour markets.
Underlining the broader national significance of these milestones, Dr Nasereddin noted that international accreditations carry profound academic, economic, and national dimensions. He highlighted their direct role in attracting international students to Jordanian universities, expanding graduate employability, and consolidating Jordan’s reputation as a destination for higher education while building global student capabilities.
Reaffirming the university’s commitment to institutional excellence, President Professor Salam Al-Mahadin stated that securing these international accreditations reflects tireless, integrated academic and administrative teamwork. She emphasised MEU’s dedication to developing programmes in alignment with international standards, noting that the ultimate core of these achievements lies in elevating the student experience and preparing graduates to compete successfully in the global job market.
