Cairo University is a multidisciplinary public institution with faculty-specific international admission arrangements. Pharmacy, medicine and engineering should be researched at the relevant faculty, not through a single assumed English-medium package. The verified pharmacy examples distinguish the mainstream PharmD and the clinical route; training requirements and professional recognition remain separate from admission to a degree.

Selected programme examples

  1. Bachelor of Pharmacy (PharmD) — mainstream programme
  2. PharmD — Clinical Pharmacy programme
  3. Master's in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency — listed joint programme with University of Kassel; confirm current intake

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • School qualification recognition, science prerequisites and international admission approval must be checked with the selected undergraduate faculty and the official Egyptian application process.
  • Postgraduate requirements are also faculty-specific; a related recognised prior degree and the department's current admission conditions must be verified.
  • No university-wide foreign-applicant percentage is asserted here.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Confirm the teaching, examination and practical-placement language in writing for the exact programme.
  • Cairo's international guide distinguishes Arabic- and English-study arrangements and faculty-level English evidence; an English-language website is not proof that every degree is English-taught.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Use the relevant faculty's annual announcement.
  • The checked Clinical Pharmacy admission page includes a 2026 admissions contact, while some faculty news still advertises 2025/26.
  • A currently displayed old announcement is not evidence of an open 2027 intake.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • No single current international closing date was verified across the selected programmes.
  • Obtain the live intake announcement from the faculty or official admissions office; do not reuse dates from mobility exchanges, which are not full-degree admission rounds.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Programme-specific.
  • A current, clearly year-labelled international tuition quotation for the selected programmes was not verified from the accessible official pages.
  • Request a written quotation specifying currency, academic year, admission/registration charges and clinical or laboratory costs; do not reuse older engineering brochures or domestic Egyptian-pound application charges as foreign tuition.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The university describes scholarship and support arrangements for qualifying international students, including nationality- and need-specific schemes.
  • Eligibility, funding coverage and the responsible authority must be confirmed individually; no universal scholarship or tuition waiver is promised.
