The Law & Sharia Sciences field

These fields apply to: Grade 12 from academic year 2025/2026 onward. The list follows the instructions recorded in the site rules.

This field fixes specialised Arabic and specialised Islamic Education, then lets you choose one humanities and social sciences subject and one further examinable subject.

What this field is like

This field fixes specialised Arabic and specialised Islamic Education, then asks you to choose one subject from the humanities and social sciences group and one further examinable subject.

Its two fixed subjects share a single underlying skill: reading a text closely, drawing out its meaning or its ruling, and setting that down in precise language. That is built by repeated writing and practice rather than by memorising alone. Students who arrive expecting pure recall tend to find the questions asking them instead to justify a position and weigh it against another — which is not what a single night of revision produces.

Grade-12 subjects

Fixed subjects

Optional humanities and social sciences subjects — Choose one subject

Further examinable subject

Your fourth subject is chosen from the examinable subjects, and that list is the same whichever field you are in. It is set out in full, split into sciences and humanities, on the fields page. See the full list of examinable subjects

Do not repeat a subject: every choice must differ from the fixed subjects and the other choices.

Choosing within this field

This field asks you to choose one subject from the humanities and social sciences group, then one further examinable subject. Your two fixed subjects are already training you to read a text closely and reason from it, so a choice that extends that training tends to pay off more than one that pulls against it.

That said, deliberately picking something of a different character is not a mistake. It can open a second way of thinking and relieve a year spent entirely in one register. What matters is that the choice is made on purpose, rather than left to chance or to whatever your classmates picked.

The faculties and programmes you can apply to

This list applies to: University admission for the academic year 2026/2027.

• Faculties of Law
• Faculties of Sharia and Islamic Studies
• Islamic Banking programmes

Open to every student on the academic track, whatever your field: Programmes in the faculties of Arts, Design, Culinary Arts and Sports Education, except Sports Rehabilitation at the Hashemite University.

These are faculties and programmes rather than a list of individual majors, and they come from an admission policy that is reissued every year, so they can change. This page states no admission averages and no minimum marks; those come from the universities and the admission authority. The authoritative text is the policy itself: Jordanian universities admission policy (PDF)

Qualifying for this field

Qualifying for any field is passing year one and nothing else: every grade 11 subject must reach 40% of its maximum. No field has a minimum mark of its own.

How your average is calculated in this field

Year two has four subjects, each out of 175: 700 marks become 70 points of your average, added to 30 points from year one. The field fixes the subjects, not the arithmetic.

The other fields

Each field has its own subjects and faculties. These are the rest of the six:

• Health
• Engineering
• Science & Technology
• Languages & Social Sciences
• Business

This page describes the subjects in this field and the faculties it lets you apply to. It does not cover competitive admission averages, which come from the universities and the admission authority. The calculator is unofficial and anticipated, and does not model the التكميلي resit.
