A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
The history of Alexandria University goes back deeper into the ancient B.C. era. It is synchronized with the history of the Bibliotheca Alexandria which corresponds to the construction of the city of Alexandria in 331B.C. The modern Alexandria University was established in 1943. It is deemed to be the second University in modern Egypt. Cairo University being the first.
On August 2009, I have had the honor of serving as the university president. This represents a unique privilege as it offers me the opportunity to help continue buildind the tremendous accomplishments established by my predecessors, and to move forward to new horizons. It also carries with it the responsibility to lead an institution with such a rich and legendary past.
My vision for Alexandria University is of a university that is taking a leading position not only at the regional level, but also having a place among the distinguished Universities in the global arena. In a world rich of ideas. Challenges, and possibilities, we are working towards the increase of our international links and the development of new academic exchanges with numerous foreign institutions. The geographical location of Alexandria City, as it overlooks Europe from the north across the Mediterranean, Africa from the south, and surrounded from the East and West by Middle Eastern universities, communication facilities with other Universities, creates meaningful connection with others, and allows the exchange of experiences, cooperation and support.
Students are at the centre of what we do. Alexandria University is constantly striving to initiate and develop new and innovative programs to help them succeed, to provide graduates with more than just a body of knowledge or an area of expertise, and to adequately supply the needs of the work market.
Hence, we have been developing services towards that end in order to be able to offer distinguished and quality controlled educational services as well as extend our assistance to the surrounding communities.
We have developed a strategic scheme which charts an ambition course to build on our academic and institutional strengths. In addition, to enhance and support the future of our Universities, we have established the University Centre for Quality Control and its unites in each faculty, the unit for Technological Development links the University with the industrial sector, and the Center for Faculty Leadership Development. We have also developed a complete data base incorporating all available information about the University human and material resources, and the Guide for Research Projects from 1991 to 2009.
We are working to offer more developed student services, residence and recreation programs, and extracurricular opportunities in order to provide our students with the tools for lifelong learning, and the skills of creativity. Problem-solving and leadership. We are also proud of our ability to now offer some programs to students in remote areas through extended and distance education and online learning.
More than 5,000 committed faculty and staff work constantly to support the efforts of a total student enrolment of more than 170.000 students in our main Alexandria campuses and its 3 satellites in Edfina. Damanhour and Marsa-Matrouh. Today, Alexandria University offers Bachelor, Masters, and PhD degrees in more than 25 disciplines. In addition, we are proud of our contributions and achievements on both the local and national levels. We believe in our ability in enhancing our position on the international level, and we have the will.
I hope this directory will help you become up to date with our faculties, departments, and programs, and share with us the same feeling of progress and growth.
Wishing you god's blessing and success.
Sincerely.
