Creativity is a human achievement embodied by the ability to generate and employ ideas in a way that enriches the life of society and innovates creative solutions to all the problems that hinder its path and the lives of its members. Creativity has kept pace with the AAU’s march since its inception in 1990 as it was the pioneer of private university education in Jordan and the Arab world. The Faculty of Architecture & Design is one of the creative addresses of this prestigious educational institution. Since its establishment in the academic year 2010-2011, the Faculty has provided the appropriate educational environment for supporting the creative achievement as a human act in need of an attractive climate and an environment that embraces it. We in the Faculty of Architecture & Design provide our students with all kinds of support, which contributes to the development of their creative and innovative thinking skills in addition to our endeavor to frame them academically so that they could be of help to the labor market.

To achieve this, the Faculty offers five academic programs at the Bachelor degree level, which are as follows: the first in Architecture Engineering, the second in Interior Design, the third in Graphic Design, the fourth in Film, Television & Theater Design and the fifth in Multimedia Design. The Faculty also introduced a Master program in Interior Design as of the academic year 2019-2020, which is the first of its kind at the level of all Jordanian universities.

Furthermore, The Faculty persisted on drawing its future vision to embody many of the life aspects which contribute to the advancement of community, its institutions and individuals as all of its offered academic programs are concerned with design and arts. From this standpoint, the Faculty administration was able, within a series of projects and future visions to develop new teaching and learning tools by offering new academic programs and continuous development of its existing academic programs. The Faculty also linked its study plans with the local and international accreditation programs through emphasizing learning outcomes that in turn focus on theoretical and applied skills and professional practice with the highest degree of competence in the fields of design. This is done for the purpose of graduating trained and qualified cadres capable of supplying the local, Arab and international labor market with distinguished competencies. To achieve this, the Faculty administration recruited teaching cadres with a high level of competence and made available all the necessary equipment and support means including educational media, laboratories, and equipment that meet the requirements of the teaching process to keep pace with the rapid developments in its fields of specializations and in harmony with the philosophy and aspirations of the University, which moves rapidly towards globlization.
