The Master of Science in Global Challenges and Leadership (GCL) is a value-based interdisciplinary program focusing on issues of poverty, human development and environmental challenges in the Middle East and Africa. Having Water Management, Agriculture, Public Health and the Environment as final areas of specialization, this program offers unique opportunities for the future holders of such a degree in Jordan and in Europe. The students of GCL will have the benefit of a very rich and diverse intellectual environment crucial for academic excellence throughout the course of the program. The GCL program admits holders of Bachelor Degrees in Social Sciences, Natural and Medical Sciences, Engineering Sciences, Agriculture or Human Sciences. The program will indeed also be very appealing to both Arab students and International students alike. The students are expected to spend three out of four semesters at the University of Jordan. One semester, in particular, the first semester of the second year will be spent at one of the partner universities in Europe thus giving the students the addition of a variation of academic environments and cultures.
The program is the result of a collaboration effort of four universities with strong research profiles in issues of human development, environmental studies and socio-economic transformation in the Middle East. The participating universities are The University of Jordan (UJ), Lund University, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Cologne University of Applied Sciences and the program is partially supported by the Open Mind Academy (OMA), an educational project aimed at the improvement of quality in higher education and the expansion of vocational training.
