Essential documents you’ll need to apply for a Bachelor’s degree at Zewail City of Science and Technology:
High School Certificate & Transcripts
Submit a certified copy of your high school diploma (Thanaweya Amma or international equivalent) along with full transcripts. These must be attested where applicable and clearly show your scores in science and math subjects
National ID / Passport & Birth Certificate
An official copy of your national ID card (for Egyptian applicants) or passport (for international students), plus your computerized birth certificate, are required for identity verification
Passport-Style Photos
Provide a recent, high-quality passport-style photograph with a plain white background (usually 3–4 copies)
Proof of English Proficiency
Since instruction is in English, you must supply a valid TOEFL?iBT or IELTS Academic score (TOEFL?94 or IELTS?6+, for example), or otherwise pass the university’s English proficiency test
Military Service Form (for Egyptian males)
Male Egyptian applicants need to submit the completed “Form 2” from military service offices, or proof of exemption if born before 2000
Proof of Residency / Equivalency Documents (if applicable)
Non-Egyptian high school certificates must be accompanied by proof of 12 years of schooling and authenticity verified by the Egyptian embassy or cultural attaché. For those with IGCSE/A?levels, international equivalency certification is also required

In honor of Dr. Ahmed Zewail’s legacy, the university initiated the creation of a dedicated museum on campus to showcase his achievements and personal artifacts. This institution not only honors Egypt’s first Nobel Laureate in a scientific field but also provides a tangible source of inspiration for students and researchers. With a collection that includes scientific instruments, awards, manuscripts, and memorabilia from Zewail's private collection, the museum fosters scientific pride, celebrates national heritage, and offers experiential insight into the life of a trailblazing scientist.
Zewail City embedded innovation into its DNA via its Technology Pyramid—a structured pipeline linking research to industry, startups, and patents. This ecosystem supports technology transfer, incubates spin-offs, and collaborates with companies across Egypt and abroad. Joint initiatives include partnerships with the Egyptian military, defense corporations, and global universities, collectively fueling entrepreneurship, commercialization, and applied science—ensuring that discoveries transition from lab benches to market-ready solutions
Within just over a decade of opening, Zewail City became the top-ranked university in Egypt and secured a position among the top 10 in the Arab world according to Times Higher Education. It further cemented its academic standing by achieving ABET accreditation for several of its science and engineering programs. This dual recognition—first in national rankings and then by a globally recognized accreditation body—underlines its commitment to meeting international standards, ensuring students are globally competitive, and aligning its curricula with industry-relevant outcomes. This milestone reflects strategic planning, quality assurance, and a faculty-driven push for excellence
Built on earlier work in nanofluid-enhanced solar desalination, Zewail City researchers extended the tech to hybrid water-treatment units using plasmonic nanomaterials embedded in floating solar stills. Initiated by 2023, experimental units combine solar evaporation with thermoelectric heat capture to concurrently generate clean water and electricity. Inspired by global floating-desal systems, this Egyptian photocatalytic-desal design aims to serve off-grid communities and agriculture with sustainable multi-output installations. Combined experimental results suggest dual-mode operation in water purification and small-scale energy generation.
Researchers at the Center for Nanotechnology engineered precision drug delivery platforms using targeted nanoscale carriers—such as metal-organic frameworks and stimulus-responsive hydrogels—around 2021. These systems are designed to target cancer cells or inflammatory tissues, releasing therapeutics in response to molecular triggers like pH or temperature. With enhanced selectivity and reduced side effects, this biomedical innovation integrates chemistry, nanotechnology, and pharmacology to offer next-generation therapeutic delivery solutions emerging from Zewail City labs.
Also developed during the pandemic, Zewail City’s researchers engineered a reusable respirator mask featuring a silicone exhalation valve treated with antiviral agents. Crafted from medical-grade materials and designed for easy sterilization, it employs replaceable filters capable of trapping viral particles. This concept addresses critical shortages of disposable masks, aiming to provide durable, safe respiratory protection for healthcare workers. The design bridges medical safety and economic sustainability, reducing plastic waste while ensuring user protection
