Going to University is an important and exciting time of your life. It is often said that “schooldays are the best days of your life”. In reality, it is more likely to be your time at University. Not only are you exposed to new ideas and new ways of learning, but you meet new friends and gain new experiences. So choosing the right University is important.

Here at The British University in Egypt, we provide students from the Region with an opportunity to experience the best of British Education. Traditionally, British Universities have focused not just on developing the intellectual abilities of their students, but the whole person. That is precisely what we do in the Faculty here at the BUE.

The objective of the University is to educate you how to think not what to think. In a rapidly changing global economy, you must know how to apply your learning in order to resolve problems. At the same time, you will need to work with and through other people and to be able to persuade them that your ideas and solutions are correct and worth investing in. You will not be able to stand back and wait to be told what to do. You will have to have the confidence and ability to make your own decisions.

So, in addition to exposing you to the latest thinking on your subject, whether it be Business, Economics or Political Science, we help you to become autonomous learners, thereby equipping you for life after University. This is why our students are so in demand by employers locally and internationally. They are able to apply their knowledge and to use it to solve problems in the workplace.

If you are up for the challenge, the BUE and the Faculty of Business Administration, Economics and Political Science is the place for you. However, wherever you go, enjoy your time at University. Use the experience wisely, and, importantly, enjoy it!

wish you every success.
