🇪🇬 105 universities · 27 governorates
Egypt's universities — from Wikidata, not the ministry.
Egypt has public, private and national universities and universities set up under international agreements, overseen by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This directory lists the 105 universities Wikidata records, by governorate; branches of the same university are listed once, under the university.
Not an official list
This list comes from Wikidata, a community-maintained database (retrieved 2026-11-13) — not from the country's regulator. It may include institutions that have closed, merged or been renamed, or that have lost or never had official recognition, and it may miss others. We leave out entries Wikidata marks as dissolved or closed, but that filter is only as up to date as Wikidata. Only institutions whose name calls them a university are listed, so recognised colleges and degree-awarding institutes are missing. Being listed here is not proof of accreditation.
Before you apply, check with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. (Links checked on 13 November 2026.)

What isn't here, and why
Egypt's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and its Supreme Council of Universities oversee public and private universities, but we found no list they publish that we could republish, so this page is built from Wikidata.
This list is from Wikidata, a community-maintained source — retrieved 2026-11-13. A university missing here is a gap in that source, not a judgement about the university, and being listed here is not proof of accreditation: check with the national regulator. Public or private status is shown only where Wikidata records it (30 of 105).
