Accounting is a crucial aspect of any business operation. By way of research and analysis, accountants compile and provide important financial information to different departments of a given business. Through the AUM Accounting program, students will learn how to most effectively carry out the invaluable finance-related duties of an accountant, as well as receive a broad-based, foundational education of related fields such as Finance and Risk Management, which will assist those who go on to pursue managerial positions. This program also gives students the chance to directly apply the knowledge and skills they are receiving in their classes by conducting field work. This real-life experience is incomparable when it comes to giving students a head start on their careers, and instills within them the work ethics, attitudes and behaviors they will need to excel. Our graduates work according to world-class International Accounting Standards, and open themselves up to career opportunities in various branches of accounting, management, analysis, auditing, etc.
The success stories of Ahmad Abu Ali and Afnan Abu Khalifa are perhaps sufficient to showcase the kind of accomplishments the Accounting students at AUM achieve after graduation. Ahamd graduated in 2017, and, after working for two years, started his own manufacturing business making protein bars. Afnan followed a different path, earning her Master’s degree before returning to work in her family’s business as a Chief Accountant; she uses what she learned at AUM to expand their business and increase its revenue.

Business Administrators are a pillar of any business. They manage and oversee all business functions, whether it deals with finance, marketing, sales, or labor. With a foot in every door, they are key players in helping a business achieve its goals and enact its missions. In the Business Administration program at AUM, we give students a chance to learn the inner-workings of this field and become effective and proactive managers. Through the program, students will acquire a deep understanding of all business functions and departments, as well as be able to implement the four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They will learn to conduct in-depth market research and become experts at interpreting and analyzing different kinds of data. The Business Administration program also focuses on developing the students’ written and verbal communication skills, which will allow them to produce high-quality reports, give presentations, discuss project plans, and lead teams. Over the years, AUM has become synonymous with high-quality business education, and our graduates are widely sought-after in the workplace. A degree in Business Administration from AUM opens career opportunities in supply-chain, project, and human resources management, as well as in banking, finance, and consultancy.

Banking and Finance is the cornerstone of any business, institution, or organization. Orderly finances are crucial to the continuation and development of these entities, and without strong and well-trained staff overseeing these dealings, success will likely remain something out of reach. The Banking and Finance program at AUM is designed to teach students how to carry out this invaluable role with the utmost professionalism and expertise. Through the program, students will acquire an in-depth understanding of financial markets, learn how to build and manage financial plans, and develop the financial literacy they need to accurately interpret data and carry out statistical analysis. The program also focuses on developing the student’s mental database of software, and walks them through how to best utilize each to carry out the task at hand. The student will also commit to 160 hours of training at CFI and Hantec Markets, where they will have the opportunity to develop workmanship qualities that will make them stand out to future employers, such as communication skills, presentation, and numeracy. A degree in Banking and Finance from AUM opens the door to career opportunities in financial management, commercial and investment banking, insurance, real estate, financial planning, and government service. AUM has an almost perfect employment rate for Baking and Finance graduates, and because of our existing affiliation and partnership with CFI and Hantec Markets, graduates also have employment priority in their offices.
Because of their employment priority, many of our graduates go on to work in CFI and Hantec Markets after graduation. Others, however, branch out and find employment in other big-name companies, banks, and insurance companies. For example, a number of our Banking and Finance graduates have found themselves working in companies such as Al-Etihad Bank, Ernst and Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, some of the biggest names in the kingdom and in the region.

Jordan is becoming a rich, regional well of entrepreneurial start-ups and independent business ventures, making it the ideal environment for marketing – and graduates with marketing degrees - to flourish. Marketing is how a company, organization, or establishment brands itself, whether it through advertisements, websites, social media pages, etc. It is how people come to identify these entities, and it’s because of this that marketing is one of the biggest determiners of a brand’s commercial success. In the Marketing program at AUM, students will follow a curriculum that is carefully crafted to train their eye to spot and take advantage of the ever-increasing opportunities that are springing up in local and regional markets. In a supportive learning environment, students will be encouraged to hone in their creativity, as well as develop excellent research and analysis skills. This will allow them to craft effective strategies that will revolutionize the way marketing is done in the region. AUM Marketing graduates are strong communicators, negotiators, presenters, and problem solvers who are always on the hunt for new ideas, making them highly-demanded in the workplace in fields such as management, sales, public relations, social media, accounting and more.
One story that encapsulates the many successes emerging from the Marketing department at AUM is that of Ghadir Abu Qalbain; along with a group of AUM students from different programs, she won the Hultz Prize locally and regionally. The Marketing department also has one of the highest employment rates for graduates, reaching a total of 89% in the summer of 2019. This is partly due to our Practical Training course, which showcases the potential of our students to potential employers.

Risk Management is the logic, ethics, and even wisdom behind some of the most important decisions made in a given organization. People working within this field are responsible for predicting, assessing, and creating effective solutions to a wide variety of risks. Obstacles are an unavoidable reality for any organization, but Risk Managers are trained to navigate those obstacles and help organizations enact their functions as smoothly as possible.
Through the Risk Management program at AUM, students will be provided with an in-depth and all-inclusive education on the nature of risk. Here at AUM, we understand that risk is a multi-dimensional and layered concept, and so have designed the program so as to cover all types of organizational, financial, environmental, social, and insurance and enterprise related risk, providing our students with a full spectrum of knowledge. The program will equip students with the steadfast attitudes and effective risk management techniques they need to tackle contemporary problems in all sectors of business and society. Risk Management jobs are in high-demand in Jordan, and since AUM is the only university in the kingdom to offer such a degree, it is our qualified graduates that stand out among the rest and receive the best employment opportunities in the field. Our graduates open themselves up to careers in world-class organizations such as the WHO (World Health Organization), the UN (United Nations), the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Societies), as well in business, government, technology, medicine, enterprise, and more.
