About Affiliation

Benha University (BU) traced its roots to the first high school of Agriculture in Egypt, founded in 1911, then as a branch of Zagazig University in 1976. In 2005, BU gained its independence, and ever since, this was achieved by launching a university-wide campaign of faculty and staff training, as well as significant laboratory and infrastructure reform. This campaign is increasing and continuous focusing mainly on enhancing teaching, communication, and research skills, as well as, computer and IT capabilities, and quality assurance and control. Many of these projects were funded by international entities such as the World Bank and the European Union.

BU has around 4,500 faculty and staff members, serving circa 127,000 students. Because of its reputation, BU is increasingly attracting more international students from Arab countries. Recently, BU exerted efforts to raise the meaning of internationalisation. BU is currently collaborating with UK universities via the British Council in Egypt.

BU has 15 colleges; five of which (Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Science, and Agriculture) are equipped with well-established research laboratories and instruments and are engaged in active research at both the national and international levels.

Focusing on the Faculty of Engineering, it was initially the Engineering Division at the Higher Technical Institute in Cairo, founded back in 1961. Later on, it merged with the Faculty of Technology of Helwan University in 1975. A year later, the faculty joined Ein Shams University (one of the largest and oldest universities in Egypt) for merely six months then Benha University (Zagazig previously) from then on and changed its name to Faculty of Engineering in Shoubra. The faculty consists of 8 departments, namely; Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Surveying Engineering, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Engineering Physics, Industrial Engineering, and Power Engineering and Sustainable Energy.
