He stated doctoral applicants must also hold a Master's degree with a minimum grade of "good" from a recognized university and have completed both degrees through regular enrollment.

Regarding English language requirements, Sarayreh said applicants must achieve the minimum score in one of the proficiency tests approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

The test, he noted, must have been taken within the past two years at an accredited testing center. Students who do not meet the required score may enroll in a six-credit remedial English program offered by the university.
