In 2014, UCL Engineering pioneered a radical new approach to education in the faculty. This education project with NGU exemplifies our approach, and crucially will have long term impact, both in the Middle East and North Africa region, as well as further afield.”Īt the official signing ceremony to mark the project collaboration, delegations from NGU and UCL were joined by His Excellency Tarek Adel, Egyptian Ambassador to the UK.

UCL’s Vice-Provost (Enterprise), Dr Celia Caulcott, added: “At UCL we believe that collaboration is key to addressing global social, economic, technological and infrastructure challenges of the future. This also represents an important new phase in our relationship with one of the world’s leading universities in UCL.” “Our new School of Engineering will help to train the next generation of engineers, who are fully equipped to work in, and lead, multi-disciplinary teams to tackle future challenges and opportunities that will arise through the next industrial revolution. “This is an exciting and historic new chapter in the journey of Newgiza University,” said Prof Sameh Farid, President of NGU. The courses will form the foundation of a new School of Engineering at NGU. Now, NGU is to launch two new engineering programmes in ‘Architectural Engineering’ and ‘Computers, Communications and Autonomous Systems’. UCL has existing established links with NGU, through the ongoing collaboration on the development of undergraduate medicine, dentistry and pharmacy programmes – facilitated by UCL Consultants, part of UCL Innovation & Enterprise. Newgiza University (NGU) is a multidisciplinary private university based at New Giza, Egypt and has quickly become a beacon of innovative education across the Middle East and North Africa. One of the Middle East and North Africa’s most innovative new universities is to launch a School of Engineering, developed in collaboration with UCL.
