What is business & management?

Business degrees in Egypt run from traditional commerce faculties — accounting, business administration, economics — through to English-taught BBA programmes with marketing, finance and international business majors.

The gap between a public commerce faculty and a private English-taught business school is larger in this field than in most. Both can be the right answer; they are answers to different questions.

Who it is for

Students who want a broad, flexible degree.
Students planning to work in or start a business.
Students who want an English-taught degree without a heavy mathematics load.

Business & Management in Egypt — frequently asked questions

Public commerce faculty or private business school?

A public commerce faculty is normally far cheaper and usually teaches in Arabic. A private business school normally teaches in English with smaller classes and a higher fee. If you did not study in Arabic, that choice is largely made for you.

University requirements, tuition fees, deadlines, scholarship availability and immigration or residence rules can change. Students must verify final requirements with the relevant university and the appropriate authorities. NIADO provides guidance and application support, and does not guarantee admission, scholarships, visas or residence permits.
