1. Bachelor’s Degree & Transcript

A four-year bachelor’s degree (or equivalent like a specialized diploma) in a relevant field is required.

You’ll need a certified transcript with a minimum cumulative GPA—often between 2.0 to 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, depending on the program.

2. Equivalency for Non-Egyptian Degrees

International applicants must provide degree equivalency approved by the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education.

Official attestation and authentication from both the home country and Egyptian authorities may be necessary.

3. Language Proficiency

If the program is in English, applicants must demonstrate proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or a university-administered English test.

For Arabic-taught programs, proficiency in Arabic is expected, often evaluated via departmental review or submitted records.

4. Medical & English Language Exam

Applicants will usually take a medical check-up and be required to pass an in?house English language exam administered by the university.

Results of both must be submitted as part of the final application package.

5. Recommendation Letters & Statement of Purpose

Two academic references from former professors or supervisors are usually required.

A well-crafted statement of purpose outlining research interests and career goals is strongly recommended for research-intensive programs.

6. Entrance Interview or Exam

Most Faculties conduct a written entrance test or oral interview, focusing on subject knowledge and research potential.

Performance in this screening, along with academic record, often determines selection.
