Amman, Aug. 12 (Petra) His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin
Abdullah II, accompanied by Her Royal Highness Princess Rajwa Al
Hussein, attended on Tuesday the graduation of Al Hussein Technical
University (HTU)’s sixth cohort, comprising 450 graduates from
various degree programmes and technical and applied specialisations.
The university, a Crown Prince Foundation initiative, celebrated the
graduation of students who earned bachelor’s degrees, and first- and
second-level technical diplomas across academic and applied
programmes including industrial, electrical, energy, and mechanical
engineering, computer science, data science and artificial
intelligence, cyber security, video game design and development, and
architectural engineering, in line with its mission to prepare
technically qualified professionals for the job market.
HTU, also marking the 10th anniversary of its founding this year, was
established under the vision of the Crown Prince to deliver
innovative, hands-on learning, industry-ready technical education,
and strategic industry partnerships to meet the evolving needs of the
job market.
Speaking at the ceremony, HTU President Ismael Hinti traced HTU’s
evolution since its origins at the King Hussein Business Park to its
current status as a prominent applied university serving some 3,000
students from governorates across the Kingdom, empowering them with
the practical and technological skills needed to tackle real-world
challenges.
Hinti also announced the launch of the Al Hussein Technical
University Endowment, which aims to expand HTU’s scholarship
programmes that currently support more than 1000 students at the
university. HTU aims to double the impact of these programmes in the
coming years, creating equal opportunities for more talented and
driven students.
The new endowment fund strengthens the sustainability of HTU’s
long-term mission by broadening access to technical education for
talented youth. The initiative anchors a culture of sustainable
giving at the university, ensuring HTU’s educational impact will
endure for future generations.
His Royal Highness also honoured the top achieving graduates.
