Message From the Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at The British University in Egypt (BUE)

Congratulations on joining our stimulating environment that helps you achieve personal and professional success. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is the gateway for capacity building and humanistic studies which open a wide range of opportunities for its graduates. It aims to develop your full potential to face the challenges of today’s world. While studying languages (English and Chinese) or psychology at the Faculty, you will perceive the world as a place of difference and diversity across time, space and cultures. Your exposure to global awareness would enable you to add value to this world by appreciating diversity, reflecting on the past, responding to the present and inspiring the future of the 21st century.

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the British University in Egypt comprises three Departments: The Department of Basic and Applied Psychology , the Department of English Language and Literature (which offers three career oriented specialisations: Linguistics, Literature and Translation) and the Department of Chinese Language and Culture.

Our departments, academic staff and our programmes are all dedicated to fulfilling the mission and vision of the Faculty of developing graduates with analytical skills, independent thinking, critical enquiry, creative imagination, respect for different cultural perspectives as well as enriching their human understanding through creativity, employability and research skills as well as communicative competence. These skills are extremely attractive to future employers in the field of business, industry and commerce and will prepare you to hold promising posts at reputable and international institutions and organisations. Thus though arts and humanities degrees may not offer as clear cut a career path as sciences, the wide range of key transferrable skills gained equip our graduates with employability skills to succeed in the professional world.

Our partnership with LSBU ensures you receive broader experiential learning opportunities, and an internationally recognized degree with quality UK education that meets global standards. One of the main attractions of joining the Faculty of Arts at the British University in Egypt is the opportunity to spend either a semester or a summer programme abroad at our partner university in England. This experience aims to increase proficiency in the area of study, while also allowing students to be exposed to other cultures and meet the challenge of communicating with a broad range of people and expertise.

The Faculty also opens the door to remarkable new possibilities. Your development will not be limited to academic life as there will be extra-curricular activities, competitions, seminars, workshops, social and cultural events that will help you grow as successful and socially engaged citizens. Another exciting experience is that the Faculty is keen on ensuring its undergraduates gain practical experience to develop their employability skills. Bachelor students in our faculty are encouraged to complete a career-orienting internship during the summer period. A number of opportunities are available such as The British Council, Egypt, ETC Arabia TV, Diwan, the Learning Resource Centre for disabilities and IT Worx Service Management and the British Council-BUE Advisory Office: British Council Ambassadors.

So on behalf of all the staff, I would like to welcome you to our Faculty. I wish you happy four deciding years of your life. Together, we will apply humanistic thought to our complex, technological world.

Our today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders.

Professor Shadia Fahim
Dean of Faculty of Arts and Humanities
