The University of Petra (UOP) and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR) have concluded an Agreement to establish a scholarships fund for dental specialties.

The Agreement was signed by MOHESR Minister, Prof. Wajih Owais and UOP President, Prof. Marwan Muwalla at MOHESR headquarters. Also present at the signing ceremony were Prof. Adnan Badran, the Chancellor of the University of Petra (UOP) and its Board of Trustees and Prof. Thafer Y. Assaraira, President of Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutions (AQACHEI).

In this regard, UOP has taken practical steps to establish its Faculty of Dentistry and obtained the initial approval from the Higher Education Council to construct the Faculty. UOP President Prof. Marwan Muwalla said that "the Agreement represents a step forward and a starting point for MOHESR-UOP cooperation to establish the UOP Faculty of Dentistry".

The Agreement stated that, upon obtaining the initial approval from the Higher Education Council, a scholarship fund will be established and managed by a committee chaired by AQACHEI President, one member nominated by MOHESR and two members nominated by UOP.

The Committee will take the responsibility of preparing a five-year scholarship plan to send students abroad to obtain Master's and PhD degrees, or their equivalents, from international universities in specialties needed by the newly established UOP Faculty of Dentistry.
