When the idea of establishing Al-Balqa Applied University first came about, the Hashemite vision that propelled the project foresaw the value of responsive quality higher education in a changing world. Today, BAU, is home to applied, technical and academic flexible learning frameworks where creativity and innovation are embraced, where outstanding transformative research takes place, and where inspirational teaching is delivered.
As BAU embraces the challenges of the future, it also celebrates the rich history of its hometown. The location of BAU in Salt honors the city’s academic heritage as home to Jordan's first school, pays tribute to its pioneering graduates, and links the city's rich academic and cultural heritage of the twentieth century with its future. Our vision in BAU today is to build on this legacy by ensuring our graduates reach their full protentional and stand out in today’s competitive markets through inspirational applied teaching and training, and transformative research that serves and develops our modern society.
BAU’s focus on market-responsive applied education and training in technology, communication and science extends beyond Jordan, and our goal is to open the doors for our alumni in regional and international job markets. To provide this quality applied education we envision, BAU continues to enhance its academic, applied and vocational performance and practice standards to those of international institutions and is actively working towards achieving international accreditation, and developing its study plans in line with higher education institutions globally to facilitate student exchange and transfer. Our ultimate goal is that BAU becomes the university of choice in the region for those seeking qualified human resources both in terms of academic knowledge and applied know-how. To that end, BAU is tireless in developing its curricula, conducting transformative research, widening participation in higher education, delivering inspirational teaching, working closely with our partners and stakeholders, maintaining supervision of satellite campuses, providing fairer and equal access to education, promoting a culture of integrity, professionalism, mutual respect, teamwork, community and tolerance.
Our belief in our students, staff and city is boundless, and our pursuit of academic excellence and sustainable development for our community will never cease.
