Egypt

There is a long tradition of Egyptian students studying at UCL. In the academic year 2012/13 there are 42 students from Egypt enrolled on degree programmes.

In March 2007 UCL was delighted to sign an agreement with the Africa Education Trust (AET) to enable students from Africa the opportunity to study full-time undergraduate degrees. Under the scheme two bursaries are available for nominated students who have accepted their places at UCL.

Further information regarding eligibility and selection is available from the UCL Scholarships office. To read a profile from a UCL-AET scholarship holder click here.

During August 2007 UCL signed an agreement with the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education which seeks to encourage and support scientific, technological and cultural relations between the UK and Egypt by means of accepting qualified professionals onto research programmes at UCL.

Further information can be obtained from the UCL Scholarships office.
