Egypt
Cairo University in Gizeh
With over 270.000 students, Cairo University is the largest university in the Middle East and North Africa. In 2009, this was reason enough for US president Barack Obama to address the Arab and, in fact, the entire Muslim world from here with his famous speech on the future relations between the West and the Islamic world. We cooperate with the Faculty of Economics and Political Science (FEPS, ca. 6000 students). There is an “English language track” that allows students to visit courses in English.
Furthermore, there is a longtime DAAD lecturer in charge of a degree program on Euro-Mediterranean relations, whom serves as a contact point for our German guests there.
Cairo University’s FEPS is, among others, known as an elite educational institution which serves not least to educate and produce future elites for service in high governmental positions in the State of Egypt.
