International candidates should send notarized high school diplomas, equivalency certificates from Egypt’s Supreme Council, passport copies, birth certificates, and passport-type photos. Some programs also require proof of English proficiency. Applicants must apply directly to the university or through cultural attachés at Egyptian embassies. Once pre‑approved, they receive an official letter of admission needed for visa applications. After arrival, they complete registration at the International Students Office, including security checks and medical clearance.

Benha University primarily admits new undergraduates at the start of the academic year in September/October. Application registrations via the national system close soon after high‑school exam results are published (usually summer). International and postgraduate intakes may include a second term in February or March, depending on faculty capacity. To ensure placement, applicants—especially international—should apply early, ideally 2–3 months before intake.
