Students apply for the School of Dentistry, through a central national admission system, after the successful completion of the national high school certification exams that are held at the end of high. In order to be eligible to apply, students should obtain a grade average of 85% or higher. The admission is governed and regulated by the Ministry of higher education and scientific research, and entry to the national program is granted to the highest achievers among applicants.
In addition, prospective students can also apply directly to the University of Jordan, through the parallel and international programs.
