About FUE
Future University in Egypt (FUE) was founded in 2006 by Presidential Decree 254/2006 and is one of Egypt's private universities, located in the Fifth Settlement of New Cairo. It says its six faculties are fully accredited by the Supreme Council of Universities: Oral and Dental Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering and Technology, Economics and Political Science, Commerce and Business Administration, and Computers and Information Technology.
Each faculty runs its own selection of students under the university's regulations, and degrees are awarded by the university. Applicants sit an admissions test and Cambridge English and computer placement tests, which decide which English and computer course level they join. Entry accepts Egyptian Thanawiya Amma, the American High School Diploma, French Baccalaureate, German Abitur, British GCSE and A Levels, the International Baccalaureate, the Canadian diploma and several other certificates.
The clinical and professional faculties come with their own training facilities: a dental hospital and the Future Factory for Industrial Training, a pharmaceutical training plant. Non-Egyptian students pay tuition in US dollars, from USD 7,120 a year for business, economics and computing to USD 12,350 for dentistry, with university housing priced separately.
FUE suits students who want an English-language professional degree in Cairo, are comfortable with a centralised, certificate-based admissions system, and want on-campus housing.
