MASTER'S PROGRAM IN ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS

ENGINEERING

31

Master's of Enterprise Systems EngineeringThe program was launched at the beginning of the academic year 2014/2015 in line with the strategic plan to adapt technology in different fields of knowledge and link the three Schools (Engineering, Computing Sciences, and Business Technology) together. The Master’s program in Enterprise Systems Engineering, which is a vital field, is designed to encompass several disciplines including engineering, information technology, management and enterprise resource management.

Enterprise Systems Engineering is a joint program between PSUT and the German- Jordanian University, and as such is the first such program to be offered by two Jordanian universities. This gives students the opportunity to benefit from the facilities, academic expertise and scientific research resources in both universities, in addition to providing an environment of intellectual diversity in the introduction of scientific material and the development of the scientific research environment in both universities. The inspiration for the program came from a project funded by the European Union (Tempus) in partnership with PSUT, GJU and other universities from the European Union and the Middle East.

The MSc in Enterprise Systems Engineering is a multidisciplinary program, where diverse areas of knowledge and information systems engineering skills are applied in the design and development of enterprise processes and strategic management. This is achieved by focusing on the means and methods through which IT infrastructure and enterprise information systems can be aligned with business processes and ultimately applied in commercial businesses.

The program contains two tracks: thesis and comprehensive. Graduates from different disciplines, such as technology, engineering and business, can enroll in this program.

This program is fully accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Higher Education Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (HEAQAC).

As a matter of fact, I’m very happy in PSUT as it was my dream to attend here, I worked and saved up for it. The Drs are great. PSUT is irreplaceable to me. Zainab, Nigeria

As an international student living and studying in Jordan, I am eternally grateful to my University (PSUT), and to the professors here who not only taught professionally and shared their lifelong wisdom with me, but also made me feel like a family member during my time here. I am proud to call PSUT my home away from home. Poornima Nair, India

PSUT has majors which are essential for our future. We can expect not only to obtain what we take in the lectures but also build good relationships with people. And I met a lot of kind people who helped me in many different situations. I’m highly satisfied with studying at this university. Aya Sado, Japan
