Welcome Note
The unique undergraduate education offered at The British University in Egypt is complemented by strong research activities and postgraduate programmes. The challenges in these areas are enormous, and the University has gained recognition in research and postgraduate education, both in Egypt and abroad. The multidisciplinary Master's Programmes offered in advanced technology areas, such as renewable energy, advanced materials, sustainability, and web science, are among the first to start in Egypt. These programmes are supported by advanced research in many thrust areas, which attract external funding and result in publications in top peer-reviewed journals. Research clusters and focus groups at The British University in Egypt operate through a number of research centres. This research environment on campus also opens opportunities for the students to participate in research projects and get the experience of exploring new ideas first-hand alongside the professors and researchers. Additionally, The British University in Egypt's research activities have opened strong collaborations with international universities and research centres, as well as with the industry in Egypt. The latter for example have resulted in joint ventures in new technologies, such as wind and solar energy.
It is a privilege to serve the The British University in Egypt's community in the area of research and postgraduate education at this significant time of our nation, where we all strive to see Egypt prosper and contribute to preparing the next generation who can offer strong participants in shaping Egypt’s scientific and industrial future. I welcome everyone; students, parents, and visitors to the University's research window to the world and hope you will find the information posted helpful. Please call us if you have comments or questions. It will be my pleasure to hear from you.
