the british university in egypt

since 1998, one ambition was set by the british and the egyptian governments, that ambition was the formation of the british university in egypt (bue) that could produce graduates of uk standards to enter key sectors of the egyptian economy. a group of uk universities provide the academic direction, teaching and quality management processes thereby ensuring the 'british' quality of the education. the objectives of bue are: - to provide an academic environment which encourages and draws together research, learning and teaching and engagement with the social, professional and business communities to underpin high quality academic provision. - to offer a range of academic programmes and a learning environment which is attractive to both egyptian and international students and which, where appropriate, recognize the requirements of employers. - to provide responsive academic and learner services which give students the best possible experience of higher education and opportunities to succeed.
