About the school

Engineering is one of the broadest and most integral fields of study, as it can solve some of the most impactful problems the world faces today. From coding and programming to manufacturing cars and maintaining a wide variety of products and systems, an engineer’s day-to-day is about creating, innovating, and building solutions that require logical thinking and critical analytical skills.

Our School of Engineering and Computer Science programme supports our students through our advanced labs, high-tech facilities, and research studies. The University of Hertfordshire in Egypt worked closely together with the University of Hertfordshire in the UK’s School of Engineering & Computer Science to provide our students with a world-class learning and experiential facilities to help them develop practical skills and knowledge that are sought-after in global markets.
