History
The British University in Egypt was established in 2005 by Presidential Decree as the result of an inter-governmental agreement. It is an Egyptian private university within the framework of Egyptian educational law and regulations providing a British style of education with an ethos consistent with UK quality assurance and academic standards. As such, the BUE has made great progress in its short history. It has achieved a significant number of the aims set out in its first two Strategic Plans despite Egypt’s political upheavals, resulting economic challenges and national “gap year” in student intake. The current Strategic Plan commits us to continuing the achievement of BUE’s aims, enhancing its planned institutionalization. It identifies a number of key strategic areas and objectives and sets strategic and enabling targets that will ensure the continued success and further development of the University. Implementation plans, developed within the framework of the approved strategy, will be regularly monitored with annual reports to ensure their effectiveness.
FAQs
At every stage of your degree, you may have inquiries. Before you got to the Faculty’s Admin Office, please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) below, as you may find the answers you are looking for and save yourself time.
Faculty Policy
Classroom Courtesy
- Mobile phones should be switched off during lectures, and should not be brought to any examination rooms during the exam period.
- Orderly and productive classroom discussion is encouraged.
- Late arrivals are allowed at the discretion of the lecturer.
- If students have any general enquiries, they should discuss them with the lecturer after class or during an appointed time. Side discussions are not acceptable; students are expected to act professionally, respectably and maturely.
- Full and punctual attendance at all core classes during the semester is a requirement unless absence or punctuality is unavoidably caused by illness, compassionate reasons, or has received prior permission.
Academic Honesty Policy
The purpose of written work is to develop your writing and analytical skills. The main emphasis of all your written and presented work should be based on your own point of view and understanding of the discussed issues.
PLAGIARISM: A work which contains material “borrowed” from other sources without proper acknowledgement cannot be marked as your own work. If you engage in such unacknowledged “borrowing”, a grade of 0% will be awarded. This is independent of any penalties that may be applied by the University authorities.
To avoid this outcome, students are advised to:
1. Acknowledge every source from which you have drawn information or ideas for your paper/presentation/assignment
2. Place every direct quote from a source between quotation marks, and give a citation for the source. (Footnotes, Endnotes)
3. Do not paraphrase sources. Any words not in quotations must be your own works, words neither directly lifted nor closely paraphrased from someone else. Lifting any passage from a source without clear acknowledgment that the words and style are not your own in an illegitimate practice, even if specific works have been changed in the passage.
Office Hours
Office hours give students the opportunity to ask in-depth questions and to explore points of confusion or interest that cannot be fully addressed in class. It is important for module leaders and teaching assistants to encourage their students to come to office hours and to use that time effectively. Students should abide by the office hours announced by the academic staff.
BAEPS Student Union
Because of the current pandemic, all Student Union related activities have been suspended until further notice.
