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.
