What are your chances?

Port Said University is a public, degree-granting university in Port Said, Egypt. It became an independent university in 2010, succeeding the local branch of Suez Canal University, although some constituent faculties have longer histories. Its 14 faculties cover engineering, science, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, commerce, arts, law, management technology and information systems, education, early-childhood education, physical education, and physical therapy. Official enrollment data for 2024/2025 report 24,162 undergraduate and 5,092 postgraduate students. The university offers bachelor’s-level study and maintains active routes for master’s and PhD admission. Its setting at the Mediterranean entrance to the Suez Canal gives particular context to study and employer engagement in engineering, logistics, health, business, and public services. Applicants should consult the relevant faculty because curricula, entry conditions, instruction practices, and charges are not presented in one comprehensive 2026/2027 catalog.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is supported through a General Administration for Student Welfare and a university student union. The university’s 2026 activity record shows sports, cultural, social, scientific, technological, and community-awareness programming. Recent examples include padel and esports activities, scouting, cultural and artistic competitions, an embedded-systems workshop, seminars, and activities organized with the Students for Egypt group. These examples demonstrate active programming but do not guarantee that every activity runs each semester. International students participate in dedicated integration activities as well as general university life. In 2026, university reports included sports programming for international students, cultural visits, and events bringing together students from several countries. The latest central statistics available report 249 international undergraduate students in 2024/2025. Students seeking immigration, language, or academic-transition assistance should ask the international office which services are available to their particular cohort. University-managed accommodation exists in Port Fouad. A recently completed first development phase included standard, economy, and premium housing categories, along with restaurant and kitchen facilities; the premium building contains 70 rooms. The source does not publish current prices, eligibility rules, application dates, or total available capacity. Housing should consequently be treated as limited and application-based rather than guaranteed. Prospective residents should obtain a current 2026/2027 accommodation notice before making financial or travel commitments.

Location & Surroundings

Port Said University is based in Port Said Governorate in northeastern Egypt, at the Mediterranean entrance to the Suez Canal. The university gives its central address as Port Fouad, postal code 42526. Port Said lies west of the canal, while Port Fouad lies on its eastern side, so applicants should distinguish the university’s administrative address from the specific location of their faculty, laboratory, hospital placement, or residence. The location places students in an urban, maritime setting shaped by the canal, port operations, trade, logistics, and public services. Egypt’s State Information Service describes the governorate as bounded by the Mediterranean to the north, Ismailia Governorate to the south, North Sinai to the east, and Damietta Governorate to the west. This setting provides relevant economic context for engineering, commerce, technology, and logistics-related study, although it does not itself guarantee internships. Students comparing living arrangements should investigate faculty-specific commuting routes and the connection between Port Said and Port Fouad. The central university pages do not provide a comprehensive 2026 transport or cost-of-living guide, so travel time, local rent, and daily expenses should be checked independently before enrollment.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The university does not provide a complete, centralized 2026/2027 schedule of tuition, mandatory charges, housing prices, or estimated living costs on the English pages reviewed. No reliable current amount should therefore be inferred from older notices or from fees charged by other Egyptian public universities. Egyptian and international students can face different fee structures, and charges may also vary by faculty, degree level, special program, and accommodation category. Applicants should request a written fee statement from the relevant faculty and confirm any national platform charges before paying. Housing is available in standard, economy, and premium categories, but the recent residence-development announcement gives no prices or 2026/2027 allocation rules. Students should separately budget for food, transport between Port Said and Port Fouad where relevant, books or equipment, health-related requirements, and personal expenses. They should also ask whether quoted tuition includes laboratory, clinical, registration, or administrative charges. For career preparation, the university operates a Career Development Center and Training Unit. In 2026 it reported cooperation protocols with Suez Canal Container Terminal and SE Wiring Systems Egypt, plus company visits and skills development intended to connect academic learning with employment needs. These relationships may create exposure to employers, but they are not job-placement guarantees. Students should ask their faculty about available internships, clinical placements, professional licensing implications, and participation criteria. The reviewed official sources do not provide verified graduate employment rates, starting salaries, or employer-placement statistics, so none should be assumed.
