Coventry University will offer the same curriculum, teaching methodologies, quality assurance, providing the exact same bachelor’s degree offered in the UK. In addition, Mr. Ihab Salama presented the facilities The Knowledge Hub will offer to our students and the strategic plan for the institution.
In addition to participating in EduGate, on the 26th to the 28th of February, The Knowledge Hub sponsored the British Trophy event by “BESA”, an annual football tournament that raises athletic awareness amongst students in international schools in Egypt.
The Knowledge Hub is very keen on participating in these two events for the opportunity to introduce Coventry University to students in the region, the objective is to impart the experience to the new generation and strengthen them through knowledge. As a university, the priority is to equip students with the tools and skillsets that prepare them for the competitive job market and provide them with opportunities to positively impact the local and international economy.
By September 2019, El Sewedy Education aims, through the Knowledge Hub, to alter the higher education landscape in Egypt and propel it into the international arena. The Knowledge Hub, based in the New Administrative Capital, will host select degrees from prestigious international universities and is expected to accommodate 15,000 students by the final phase of the campus construction. Phase one of the campus is expected to open this September, on an area of 27,000 sqm.
The next phase of the center will also provide access for newly-established startups to find investment opportunities among interested investors, grants and other funds to scale their businesses beyond incubation and face the challenges that come with growth and success.
