Welcome Message from Head of School

Engineering is the application of applied sciences and management to solve real-life problems that improve living standards and quality of life. Engineers are responsible for constructing buildings and bridges, manufacturing cars and wind turbines or producing electrical energy from renewable energy sources such as the sun.
We are currently living in an unprecedented time as the whole world is moving from the exploitation of fossil fuels to the utilization of sustainable and renewable energy sources. Furthermore, Industry 4.0 and Digitization are megatrends that change production and construction and require multidisciplinary professionals equipped with the right skills and mindset. Due to the significant investments made in these domains, the Engineering profession is therefore anticipated to grow considerably in the coming years.
Our Programmes of Study in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, are fully aligned with the industry and are highly ranked in the UK. Our students are becoming job-ready by working on multidisciplinary projects right from their first year of study. Our state-of-the-art labs cover an area of more than 3000 square metres and are used continuously by our students throughout their studies.”

Upon successful completion of the degree programme, students will graduate with a degree award certificate from Coventry University. This degree certificate is exactly the same as those awarded to students studying at our campus in the UK.

Our School is implementing the Activity Led Learning pedagogy approach that reinforces “Learning by Doing”. To this end, we employ state-of-the-art teaching and learning methods supported by our modern engineering labs and digital infrastructure. Through our Programmes of Study, our students acquire knowledge and develop skills that align with industry needs, making them employable internationally and locally. Furthermore, we actively enhance our students’ leadership potential, teaching them how to innovate and be entrepreneurial.

Our Programmes of Study are continuously informed through research in the fields of Sustainability, Renewable Energy Sources, Digitisation, Industry 4.0, Automation & Robotics, Internet of Things, Building Information Modelling, Digital Manufacturing, Management and others. Our global curriculum is fully aligned with Egypt’s 2030 vision, UK’s Education Strategy, and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Our students are required to complete several projects during their studies that offer them a holistic approach to the engineering profession and help them develop their management and collaboration skills, digital literacy, software competency, complex problem solving, and innovation potential.

We are a branch of Coventry University, a global, modern university with a mission of Creating Better Futures. With a proud tradition of innovative teaching and learning, Coventry University won many awards and vastly improved their rankings in the league tables in recent years.
