Prince Hamzah attended elementary school in Amman, Jordan, and then (following a long family tradition) completed his secondary studies at Harrow School in the United Kingdom.
There, he distinguished himself academically, receiving the school ‘History Prize’.

To celebrate Prince Hamzah's graduation from Harrow School, His Majesty King Hussein established the "Hamzah al-Hussein Leadership Awards" to further promote the values of leadership training and education in the school and specifically, in the former residence hall of Prince Hamzah, The Park.
