UCL and Newgiza University join forces to train tomorrow’s engineers today
UCL Engineering is collaborating with Newgiza University (NGU) in Egypt to develop two new five year engineering degree courses.

10 December 2021
Since opening in 2016 Newgiza, one of the Middle East and North Africa’s newest and most innovative universities, has collaborated with UCL on its courses.
Their medical, pharmacy and dental programmes were developed as part of a consultancy agreement by UCL Medical School Education Consultancy, UCL School of Pharmacy and UCL Eastman Dental Institute.
Following on from this, UCL Engineering has now entered into a second collaboration to design, develop and deliver two new undergraduate engineering programmes for NGU. These are in Architectural Engineering, and Computers, Communications and Autonomous Systems.
These courses will form the foundation of NGU’s new School of Engineering, drawing on the philosophy of UCL Engineering’s successful Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP). Since launching in 2014, the IEP has garnered international recognition for its combination of core engineering knowledge with an industry-oriented curriculum.
Professor Sameh Farid, President of NGU said, “This is an exciting and historic new chapter in the journey of Newgiza University. Our new School of Engineering will help to train the next generation of engineers, who are fully equipped to work in, and lead, multi-disciplinary teams to tackle future challenges and opportunities that will arise through the next industrial revolution. This also represents an important new phase in our relationship with one of the world’s leading universities, UCL.”
UCL’s partnership agreements with NGU have been set up and facilitated by UCL Consultants, part of UCL Innovation & Enterprise.
